Description:
KDE is a powerful Free Software graphical desktop environment
for Linux and Unix workstations.
It combines ease of use, contemporary functionality, and
outstanding graphical design with the technological superiority of
the Unix operating system.
KDE is a network transparent contemporary desktop environment
for UNIX workstations. 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 Microsoft Windows.
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.
UNIX dominates the server market and is the preferred computing
platform for computing professional and scientists. Without UNIX
the internet would not be. But UNIX did not address the needs of
the average computer user.
This fact is particularly unfortunate since a number of
implementations of UNIX (Debian GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD etc.)
are freely available on the internet. All of which are of
exceptional quality and stability.
KDE The Desktop Environment
With KDE there is now an easy to use contemporary desktop
environment available for UNIX. Together with a free implementation
of UNIX such as GNU/Linux, 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.
It is our hope that the combination UNIX/KDE will finally bring the
same open, reliable, stable and monopoly free computing to the
average computer user that scientist and computing professionals
world-wide have enjoyed for years.
KDE The Application Development Framework
Authoring applications under UNIX/X11 used to be an extremely
difficult and tedious process. KDE recognizes the fact that a
computing platform is only as good as the amount of first class
applications available to the users of that particular platform. In
view of these circumstances the KDE Project has developed a first
rate compound document application framework, implementing the
latest advances in framework technology and thus positioning itself
in direct competition to such popular development frameworks as for
example Microsoft's MFC/COM/ActiveX technology. KDE's KParts
compound document technology enables developers to quickly create
first rate applications implementing cutting edge technology.
KDE The Office Application Suite
Leveraging the KDE application development framework a great
number of applications have been built for the K Desktop
Environment. A selection of those applications is contained in the
KDE base distribution. At this moment KDE is developing an office
application suite based on KDE's KParts technology consisting of a
spread-sheet, a presentation application, an organizer, a news
client and more. KPresenter, KDE's presentation application was
successfully used at many presentations.
What's New in This Release:
Currently pre-compiled packages are available for:
An alpha version of KDE4-based Arklinux 2008.1 is expected
shortly after this release, with an expected final release within 3
or 4 weeks.
Debian KDE 4.0 packages are available in the experimental
branch. The KDE Development Platform will even make it into Lenny.
Watch for announcements by the Debian KDE Team. Rumours are that a
Live CD is planned as well.
Fedora will feature KDE 4.0 in Fedora 9, to be released in
April, with Alpha releases being available from 24th of January.
KDE 4.0 packages are in the pre-alpha Rawhide repository.
Gentoo Linux provides KDE 4.0 builds on
http://kde.gentoo.org.
Kubuntu packages are included in the upcoming "Hardy
Heron" (8.04) and also made available as updates for the stable
"Gutsy Gibbon" (7.10). A Live CD is available for trying out KDE
4.0. More details can be found in the announcement on
Kubuntu.org.
Mandriva will provide packages for 2008.0 and aims at
producing a Live CD with the latest snapshot of 2008.1.
openSUSE packages are available for openSUSE 10.3 (
one-click install), openSUSE Factory ( one-click install) and
openSUSE 10.2. A KDE Four Live CD with these packages is also
available. KDE 4.0 will be part of the upcoming openSUSE 11.0
release.
