“The folks over at the KDE team hope you’ll use something that
works. I think their newest offering does just that. I’ve been
working my way through KDE’s newest offering and recommend you
check out their newest slideshow presentation concerning
Kopernicus, aka KDE 2.0. If you really really like it, maybe even
develop on it, and especially start to use it, that could make a
big difference to a whole collection of Linux and Unix
vendors.”
“While everyone in the Linux community has been in denial about
it, there is a division of opinion among Linux vendors concerning
what desktop platform to support. While most vendors say they
support both GNOME and KDE, they usually make it clear where their
heart is. Firms like Caldera, Corel, Mandrakesoft and SuSE Linux in
particular have promoted the KDE desktop.”
“There’s a lot to promote. Kopernicus includes the core
libraries, an improved desktop, the Konqueror Web browser, a
prototype office suite (KOffice), plus utility and administration
software, plus stuff for games, graphics, network utilities, and
more.”
