"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."
