You can find an up-to-date list of distributions that ship

might help? If you are skilled in compiling software from sources, source

tarballs are available for each TDE release (http://www.trinitydesktop.org/releases.php).

The development version can also be built from our GIT source tree. Use the forums

or mailing lists to contact packagers to obtain copies of their build scripts

that can be massaged to fit your distro.</p></td></tr><tr class="question"><td align="left" valign="top"><a name="idm140487998822464"></a><a name="idm140487998822208"></a><b>3.4.</b></td><td align="left" valign="top"><p>Where do I find TDE snapshots?</p></td></tr><tr class="answer"><td align="left" valign="top"><b></b></td><td align="left" valign="top"><p>Learn more about the latest development snapshots at <a href="http://www.trinitydesktop.org/development.php" target="_top">http://www.trinitydesktop.org/development.php</a>.

The version

upon which TDE is based no longer is actively maintained by Trolltech.

Maintenance is handled by the TDE developers. Get the latest Qt version

from the TDE GIT repository at

With most Linux distributions, this version of Qt no longer is

included or maintained and must be obtained from the TDE repositories. Because

this version of Qt is now maintained exclusively to support TDE, the version supported

by TDE developers is not backwards compatible with the original version from Trolltech.</p></td></tr></tbody></table><table width="100%" class="bottom-nav"><tr><td width="33%" align="left" valign="top" class="navLeft"><a href="introduction.php">Prev</a></td><td width="34%" align="center" valign="top" class="navCenter"><a href="index.php">Home</a></td><td width="33%" align="right" valign="top" class="navRight"><a href="install.php">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="33%" align="left" class="navLeft">Introduction</td><td width="34%" align="center" class="navCenter"><a href="index.php">Up</a></td><td width="33%" align="right" class="navRight">Installation instructions</td></tr></table>
