Curious about how the next generation of KDE looks like? Be curious no more: here’s a bleeding-edge (really, sometimes it bleeds) look at the latest — 3.94 — beta of KDE 4.

I’ve been following KDE since KDE 1.1 was released — in fact, back in the day, I used to compile KDE from source. Being the grownup that I am today, I no longer have the time to indulge in days-long compilation — instant gratification is the name of the game for me nowadays. Nevertheless, installing KDE betas has always been an interesting experience for me.

Evidently, I rejoiced when I discovered that Kubuntu is carrying the latest betas of KDE 4. After following the instructions on the aforementioned page, and installing the kde4base-dev package, I started to screencap and document the newest release.
