KDE team announced the 2nd release of 4.4 series after 4.4.0. There are bug fixes in this release.
March 2nd, 2010. Today, KDE has released a new version of the KDE Software Compilation (KDE SC).This month’s edition of KDE SC is a bugfix and translation update to KDE SC 4.4. KDE SC 4.4.1 is a recommended upgrade for everyone running KDE SC 4.4.0 or earlier versions. As the release only contains bugfixes and translation updates, it will be a safe and pleasant update for everyone. Users around the world will appreciate that KDE SC 4.4.1 multi-language support is more complete. KDE SC 4 is already translated into more than 50 languages, with more to come.
As previously i wrote, how to install KDE4.4.0 in openSUSE 11.2. Packages are updated in the factory repo. So by following the previous howto you can install/update to KDE4.4.1.

Hi folks,
Linux and Unix based distros have a command which can kill a process or application through terminal or simply can be done in Run applet(KDE) too.
The thing which we should need is to find out which process to kill, there are many ways to find out. Some of them are:
ps -A
The above command will list down all the process with PID, name and with other details. But this one is not may be the exact command we need.
pidof gedit
In the above command lets say we need PID of gedit to kill. So it will show the PID of gedit.
Now lets kill this process by using its PID. For example PID is 3154.
kill 3154
NOTE: We need to have root privileges to kill the process. So become root to carry out the process.
If the above command does not work, so we have another one to forcefully kill the process:
kill -9 3154
Now, if you want to kill all process related to one application, we can use killall command. This is just specific to Linux systems only. Lets say we want to kill firefox.
killall firefox
But, usually we don’t need this, because kill will do most of the work we want it to do.

Hi folks,
I had deleted my Twitter account because i got some Spam messages from my follower, that i should not. I am also not a happy user of these social networks any way. For me, useless junk with waste of time. I started a community thread in openSUSE forum for this. If you are interested to read this Twitter non sense, just follow the link below and you will get more information about it. That why i deleted it?
