This is WFTL Bytes!, your occasiodaily FOSS and Linux news show for Tuesday, January 20, 2009, with your host, Marcel Gagné. This is episode 45.  Today, the US of A gets a new president and seven days later, a new KDE appears (concidence?). Meanwhile, the British Navy learns the hard way, Yahoo cheers Zimbra, companies slowly board the Linux train, and a young woman's life is ruined by Ubuntu and Dell (not really).
