KDE Reloaded CD For Linux

KDE Reloaded CD is an open source distribution of Linux derived from the openSUSE operating system and built around the latest KDE4 graphical desktop environment. It has been designed for users who want a quick taste of the latest KDE4 technologies.

KDE Reloaded CD is an official openSUSE product. It is distributed as two Live DVD ISO image of approximately 1GB in size each, optimized for the 32-bit (i386) and 64-bit (x86_64) instruction set architectures.

Users can boot the Live DVD from the BIOS of a computer using either a DVD disc or a USB thumb drive. Arrived at the boot menu, which is similar with the one of openSUSE Linux, you will be able to start the live system, boot in failsafe mode, perform a system memory diagnostic test or boot from the local drive.

We have to admit that the openSUSE developers who maintain the KDE packages did a very good job with the graphical desktop environment, which uses a traditional layout and a dark theme. KDE never looked so good!

Among the pre-installed apps, we can mention the Mozilla Firefox web browser, DNGConverter DNG image converter, Amarok audio player, ExpoBlending exposure blending software, Choqok micro-blogging client, digiKam photo management program, Konversation IRC client and showFoto image viewer and editor.

The KMail email client, Rekonq and Konqueror web browsers, KTorrent torrent downloader, Tomahawk music player, K3b CD/DVD/BD burning software, Kaffeine video player and Calligra office suite are also included.

KDE Reloaded CD is your best chance to test the latest KDE4 technologies on top of the upstream openSUSE Linux operating system. All we can hope is that it will be soon updated for KDE Plasma 5.
