Introduction to the K Desktop Environment

The KDE team welcomes you to user-friendly Unix computing.
 
With KDE there is now an easy to use contemporary desktop environment available for Unix. Together with a free implementation of Unix, KDE constitutes a completely free and open computing platform available to anyone free of charge including its source code for anyone to modify. While there will always be room for improvement we believe to have delivered a viable alternative to some of the more commonly found and commercial operating systems/desktops combinations available today. KDE is a network transparent contemporary desktop environment for Unix workstations. It was written by a world-wide network of software engineers committed to free software development. KDE seeks to fill the need for an easy to use desktop for Unix workstations, similar to the desktop environments found under the MacOS or Window95/NT. We believe that the Unix operating system is the best operating system available today. In fact Unix has been the undisputed choice of the information technology professional for many years. When it comes to stability, scalability and openness there is no competition to Unix. However, the lack of an easy to use contemporary desktop environment for Unix has prevented Unix from finding its way onto the desktops of the typical computer user in offices and homes.
