May I just congratulate the Mint team on possibly the best KDE4 distribution to date.

Downloaded, installed, and runs perfectly here. Thank you again.

Congratulations!!!!! I look forward to trying it out. One question; probably just me , but is there a x64 edition of this. I can't for the life of me see a x64 download link.

This is kind of important as I use Mint as my main OS, virtualizing Windows Vista etc (thus I want to make use of my 8Gb RAM). If it comes to the point where I consider KDE4.2 stable enough for me to replace the normal Gnome version then I would be looking for this.

Like I said it's probably me looking in the wrong place!!!!!!

Thanks for the KDE, it is truly a top notch OS, just like the Gnome version it's perfect.

I have installed Linux Mint 7 'Gloria' KDE on my 32 bit backup machine and I am very impressed. This is a very top quality distribution. Very Happy!

My main machine is an Amd triple core Phenom. It's a 64 bit system and I do a lot of video and audio work. I know that there is no 64 bit KDE version of Gloria. Very Sad!

Maybe in the future.

Thanks,
Eddie

Hello all,

Download now, but I'm surprised to see that it's over a gig. Why with the KDE CE almost double the size of the regular old Gnome? Kubuntu isn't double the size of Ubuntu, so I'm a little surprised. I was kind of counting on it being one gig to load on this one gig stick I have. My 1 gig stick is really only 900 some-odd megs. So I guess I'll have to get a new OS stick... for installing OS' on.

because you haven't turned up the volume
click on the icon in the systembar and then on mixer and turn the volume up.
at the amarok-window there is another volume bar -> top right

NO 64 bit KDE version of Gloria? Aw, that's disappointing. That's a showstopper for me as my desktops are 64-bit.

I suppose I could try Mint 7, Gloria on my laptop, though, which is an older Thinkpad.

Nice regards; Mint KDE is cute!
I wanna it x64 compatible!!!

[Azati Prime]

Great to hear! Is there a way to get KDE from within Gnome like Kubuntu and just switch between them?

[ndrwgn]

So where's Broadcom-STA? I've tried compiling it myself, but what a PITA!

[beli0135]

Which XServer does it use? 1.6.x?
Is it compatible with fglrx driver?

A great big thumbs up to Boo, Clem, Exploder et al.

Just installed Linux Mint Gloria 7 KDE and it is working a treat straight out of the box.

Now am I going for a sphere, cube, or ? fishtank, gears ? choices choices . . . . . .

Thank you very much again gents.
