"The KDE Linux desktop environment will take a giant step forward Wednesday when its supporters announce here at Comdex that they have banded together to form the KDE League to actively push the technology."

"Ransom Love, president and CEO of Caldera Systems Inc., confirmed Tuesday the establishment of a unified group to actively promote KDE (K Desktop Environment) as a viable alternative to GNOME (GNU Network Object Model Environment)...."

"KDE has always been an excellent technology that is stable and reliable. It has had a technological advantage over GNOME for business applications for some time but lacked an entity to actively promote it. We will now have that," Love said."
