Lets see: * MPlayer - no, you won't see mplayer 1.0 since Arpi jumped to "mplayer G2" and ditched everything behind. Maybe Xine 1.0 (hopefully - they just added "save" support for streaming)
* KDE 3.2 - The final 3.2 version will be at the beginning of this December. The developers are just moving to QT 3.2 and beta season should be starting soon.. There's one more application that people might want to look at it: Win4Lin 6.0. Why 6.0 is important? because it will let you run Win2k inside Linux just as it gives you today to run win9x (in many ways it's faster then vmware). Why people from Israel will want to look at it? because win2k has a built in hebrew support, so it won't have the problems as we have today to use "enabled" windows in win4lin (which, you can't). This info of-course is what I got from talking to their support guy. I didn't sign any NDA or anything, but it was supposed to be released 2 months ago..
