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. 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 ( Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD etc) are freely availabe on the
|
||
|
|
internet. All of which are of exceptional quality and stability.
