Linux KDE Platform.

Linux also provides the KDE Platform.
  What is KDE.?????????
                  KDE stands for K Desktop Environment. It is a desktop environment for Linux based operation system. You can think KDE as a GUI for Linux OS. KDE has proved Linux users to make it use as easy as they use windows. KDE provides Linux users a graphical interface to choose their own customized desktop environment. You can choose your Graphical Interface among various available GUI interfaces that have their own look.
KDE is a Windowing Manager and Graphical User Interface for the UNIX operating system, not just Linux (but was made on Linux machines). KDE has been with us since approximately 1997 and is the one of two most popular desktops for Linux. You can freely download and distribute KDE, and these days, there is no restriction on copying it.
At the heart of KDE, lies a graphical toolkit and fully featured programming language called Qt. Qt is found on many platforms including Mobile Phones/PDAs, Windows and Mac OS, but is still most popular on the Linux/UNIX platform. Qt is made by a commercial company called Trolltech. Before early 2000, KDEs main aims are to make a highly usable, user friendly, functional and highly powerful graphical user interface. They definitely have fulfilled that goal.
