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.
|
|
|
|
This package holds the basic KDE applications. It contains:
|
|
|
|
* applnk: files to create the icons for the K menu button
|
|
* doc: XML formatted documentation files for the apps
|
|
* drkonqi: if ever an app crashes (heaven forbid!) then Dr.Konqi will be so
|
|
kind and make a stack trace. This is a great help for the
|
|
developers to fix the bug.

|
|
of course for e-mail addresses)
