Firefox 3.0, ScribeFire, RadeonHD and other Miscellaneous Goodies

I’m making this post from ScribeFire, a Firefox extension for writing blog entries. Give it a try!
Firefox 3.0 is in beta now. Tons of change, but the most important ones to me are: Full page zoom, better GTK integration, and the promised Firefox 2.0 bookmarks revamp. I suggest trying out the nightly builds to see the latest and greatest.
The open source RadeonHD driver has reached version 1.0! I have to switch to a VT in order to control the panel brightness, and it consumes more power than the fglrx driver since there is no dynamic clock management, but most important to me is that… suspend and hibernate just work!
The KDE 4.0 release has been pushed to January. I can’t blame them, having tried bits and pieces of it so far, it definitely needs the extra time. I much rather wait and have a stable desktop environment.
I switched to Arch Linux a couple months ago. I highly recommend it for experienced Linux users who would like a binary distribution, with a simple system management framework, and a great package management system.
Kile 2.0 has been released. There are some nice GUI changes, but most noticeable to me is several fixes to the static line wrapping feature.
