Seemed pretty far off
by Mitch Golden on Saturday 01/Dec/2007, @12:37

This week I tried RC1 from Ubuntu packages, but it seemed more like a beta than close to release:

*) The screen locker crashed.
*) Konqueror wouldn't accept cookies.
*) The system tray was in the center of the screen, always, and on top of everything.
*) When you tell it to shut down, it asks again what you want to do.
*) When I zoomed out and then back in, the wrench at the top right was partially off the screen.

I am not sure where to report these bugs - I put the crash into bugs.kde.org, but I am not sure if that's the right thing to do at this stage of development.

RC1 is over 5000 revisions out of date, so verify the bugs with a more recent version, first.

bugs.kde.org is fine; there is also the Krush wiki:

http://techbase.kde.org/Contribute/Bugsquad/KrushDays

and IRC channel, #kde4-krush on irc.freenode.net

All but one of those issues are fixed already. The one that's not fixed yet is that when logging out from the menu is chosen, it pops up the logout dialogue instead of directly logging out, hardly a serious issue IMO.

There is one issue too: Ubuntu's KDE 4 still has packaging bugs. So the bugs you see are not nessecairy KDE bugs. It's a bit unfortunate, since it gives KDE a bad name.

Ubuntu gives Linux a bad name on the whole, if you ask me.

Why? can you support your opinion in-depth?
Anyone can criticize, but opinions is better in pair with supporting explanations imho.
