Linux on PowerPC FAQ-O-Matic : X Windows : KDE :
The "K" Desktop Environment | |
KDE: K Desktop Environment ( compiled from Q&As on the <linux-pmac@samba.anu.edu.au> List PRO: It's a nice window manager (really it's more than a simple window manager). No, it is an integrated environment-I think it is to X what MacOS is to Quickdraw.
It is a pretty heavy duty environment, much closer to Windows or the
MacOS than any of the other window managers I have tried, if that is
important to you. It comes with a bunch of utilites, as well. Pretty
cool.

Question: How do I run KDE?
Answer: kdestartcomment the former wm out, and make sure you have /opt/kde/bin/ in your path (edit your ~/.bashrc if you don't). hsundt@eugn.uswest.net, hollis@andrew.cmu.edu | |
As of the release of the official MkLinux DR3 the default environment invoked
with the startx script is KDE. The script defining start-up of kde which
is searched for by startx and its dependents is startkde, no longer is it called
kdestart
