    • GCC 4.1.0
    • KDE 3.5.2
    • More than 300 new packages
  • New features:

    • Created a new tool, called ‘setup’, to summarize the available configuration tools. (screenshot)
    • Localized the package manager. (currently German and Hungarian language support available)
    • Added Brazilian and Indonesian translation to the setup.
