what is KDE?

Post by Michael Burn » Sun, 22 Mar 1998 04:00:00



I have installed MkLinux DR3 and have it working.
X11R3 runs fine.  I have tried a couple of the window managers.

I see that one of the big groups of packages is KDE which
appears to be K Desktop Environment, but I cannot find a man
page for it.  Have not figured out Linux Info well enough to look
completely in there.  

Can anybody point me at more info?

Is it worthwile?

As an environment (collection of programs), there really isn't any *one*
man page, though I applaud your efforts of RTFM first!

www.kde.org

Absolutely.

1. A Query...now that I am using KDE...

When I was running gnome, and ran top, i would show a certain number of
users, basically depending on how many terminal windows or console
windows I had open....  Now that I am running in KDE (very solid, very
happy, only a couple of complaints, for another day), when I execute
top, I show 0 users... doesn't matter how many windows I am running...
if I log in as
