Download KDE 4.3.4

On Tuesday, just in time, version 4.3.4 of K Desktop Environment was released, the fourth service release before the version 4.3.0 released in early August. KDE is a popular desktop environment developed primarily for Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris, but there are versions for it as well Windows and Mac OS X. It comes with a standard desktop, including fifteen packages of applications, including a personal information manager, multimedia, administration and network management programs, and games. Version 4.3.4 is a so-called maintenance release and contains only updated translations and bug fixes. The most important ones can be found in the release notes below:
