Deep Inside the K Desktop Environment

Posted by Hemos on from the kteach-kyourself-kabout-kit dept.

Lemmingue writes "Ars Technica published a very good article about the KDE architecture. It's a essential read for anyone wondering how Konqueror can open documents in the same window or just understand the license issues regarding the Qt use. The article describes most of the technologies behind the KDE (Qt, KParts) and how the project is organized. The article is full of links, screenshots and diagrams."

    What's with the headline? "Deep Inside the K Desktop Environment" isn't nearly as intriguing as "Deep Inside [pr0n_star]"...

    Well, if you pronounce "KDE" to sound like "Katie"...

  7. What does KDE stand for? by Ridgelift · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    The K Desktop Environment project has come a long way to this, its eighth major release

    Did I miss the memo? I though 'KDE' stood for the Kool Desktop Environment? Did the suits get involved and figure that acronym wasn't...uh...'cool sounding' enough for marketing purposes?

    The first rule to be aware of is to *not to RTFA* and post some comment if you want some mod points

    How'd the mods who never RTFM know that you are right-on-topic?!?!

    You were doomed to be modded off-topic

    So pick up kiddo, start posting loooong *interesting* comments and catch our dear mods' attention

    You must be definitely new on /.
