Soon! :)

Its taken me a bit longer than expected, since the update to xorg 7.4 
broke several things, and causes a new slew of problems which I've been 
trying to get fixed up first, so you can at least get to a workable 
desktop. KDE 4.2 seems to work pretty well though!

I'm testing another alpha candidate tonight, if it's working well enough 
I'll release it right away, otherwise it'll be a few days still.
