    Thanks to Piter Punk.
  Great thanks are also due to the KDE team, not only for their tremendous
  accomplishments over the years, but for the gracious reception they gave to
  the members of the Slackware team who traveled to the release event.  What
  a wonderful group of people!  We had a great time there, learned a lot, and
  will be applying that knowledge and our new contacts within KDE to provide
  the best possible KDE experience for Slackware users.  The next Slackware
  release will contain KDE 3.5.9, but we're targeting KDE 4.1.x for the one
  after that.  The application end of things doesn't quite fully cover KDE3's
  functionality yet, but by then it will.  As I'm sure most of you know, Robby
  has put up test packages of the initial KDE 4.0 release which I've tested and
  found to be consistent with what to expect from a developer's preview.
    The look of the new desktop is stunning, and the use of SVG and hardware
  acceleration gives (IMHO) even something like MacOS a run for its money in
  terms of appearance and user-friendliness.  We look forward with great
  anticipation to merging KDE4 when it is mature enough (and it's getting there
  fast), and then watching it just get better and better.
  Once again, _huge_ thanks to our KDE friends!  Stop by here any time.  :-)
