Hi all,

Some noteworthy recent changes:

* The default Linux kernel in NixOS is now 3.4 (was 3.2).  3.4 is the most
recent long-term stable kernel release series and will be maintained for quite a
while.

* The default KDE version is now 4.10 (was 4.8).  If for some reason you still
need 4.8, you can put the following in configuration.nix:

  nixpkgs.config.packageOverrides = pkgs: { kde4 = pkgs.kde48; };

Let me know if any of this causes problems.
