KDE 4.1.0 Desktop release

The complete source code for KDE 4.1.0 is available for download:

Some Linux/UNIX OS vendors have kindly provided binary packages of KDE 4.1 for some versions of their distribution, and in other cases community volunteers have done so. Some of these binary packages are available for free download from KDE's http or FTP mirrors.

Currently pre-compiled packages are available for:

• Debian KDE 4.1.0 packages are available in the experimental repository. The KDE Development Platform is in unstable. More details can be found in the installation instructions.
• Fedora KDE 4.1.0 packages have been pushed as an update for Fedora 9. Note that the Fedora 9 packages do not include kdepim. A Fedora 9 build of kdepim 4.1.0 is available from the unstable repository at kde-redhat. KDE 4.1.0 is also included in the experimental Rawhide development repository, however the packages there may depend on other Rawhide packages and are therefore not suitable for installation on Fedora 9.
