| • | KDE (K Desktop Environment) is a free desktop environment and development platform built with Trolltech's Qt toolkit. It runs on most Unix and Unix-like systems, such as Linux, BSD, AIX and Solaris. There are also ports to Mac OS X using its X11 layer and Microsoft Windows using Cygwin.
Currently, a large portion of the primary KDE libraries and a few other applications can work natively on Microsoft Windows, thanks to the Project. Ports of other KDE applications are being discussed.
KDE is developed in conjunction with KDevelop, a software development suite, and KOffice, an office suite.
The "K" originally stood for "Kool" (as the "C" as in "cool" was already used in the acronym for the Common Desktop Environment), but was changed soon after to stand simply for "K", which is "the first letter before 'L' (which stands for Linux) in the Latin alphabet."
The project's mascot is a green dragon named Konqi. Konqi can be found in various applications, including when the user logs out and in the "About KDE" screen.
