“Things seem peaceful now. The Gnome project is finally out of
beta. The KDE folks are basking in the glory of their recent
“Innovation of the Year” award at Germany’s CeBIT conference, the
world’s largest computer fair…”
“Andreas Pour, a developer working on the K Desktop Environment,
or KDE, a free software graphical user interface that gives users a
chance to run a Windowslike desktop on any Linux or Unix-related
system, welcomes the peace and quiet.”
“‘Most people just want to use their computers to get things
done,” Pour says. “They’re not into any religious wars over
licensing or arguing about which system is better. They’re just
happy they can get this great free software.'”
