“Version 4.5 of the KDE desktop is impressive in its own right.
But just wait until you try some of the KDE tools, says Jack
Wallen.“The KDE development team has made some impressive advances with
version 4.5. After the abysmal 4.0 release, the desktop has turned
out to be an environment that would make any Linux user happy. It’s
as stable and as responsive as Gnome and highly flexible.“Yet beyond the desktop itself, KDE has a number of excellent
tools. I thought I’d highlight some of the best ones to pique your
interest. They vary in function and should appeal to a wide range
of user types.”
