Netrunner 2 is re-based from Gnome to KDE! Yet it still aims to be fully Ubuntu/GTK+/Gnome-compatible!Netrunner 2: Blacklight features well-known Gnome-apps like nautilus, synaptic and more out-of-the-box: * Firefox 3.6.3 * installed web browser plugins (Java, Flash) * OpenOffice Software Suite 3.2 * VLC media player with codecs * Thunderbird email client * WINE 1.42 * GIMP paint program * audacious (winamp-like music player) * Pidgin * vuze (filesharing program) * and even moreAll that on top of a well-tuned and easily customizable KDE 4.4 Desktop Environment!

“And of course we still ditched mono completely and installed a lot of software instead,” remarked the lead developer. █
