Getting KDE
| 3.1. | Where do I get KDE? |
The easiest way to get KDE is to install a Linux® distribution or another UNIX-like OS that ships with KDE. You can find an up-to-date list of distributions that ship with KDE here. For alternative methods of trying KDE that do not require you to be running Linux®, please see Try KDE The main distribution site for KDE is ftp.kde.org. However, this site is often under heavy load, so you might prefer to use download.kde.org which automatically redirects you to the mirror nearest to you. You can also have a look at the list of KDE mirror sites. | |
| 3.2. | What is the current version? |
Currently, the latest stable version is 3.5.5 The KDE 3.5.5 Info Page contains a lot of information specific to this release. | |
| 3.3. | Where do I find KDE snapshots? |
You can get the latest snapshots from ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/unstable/snapshots. You might also want to consider setting up your own SVN client in order to maintain the latest snapshot at all times. Please refer to Anonymous SVN and KDE for further information. | |
| 3.4. | Where do I get Qt™? |
Qt™ is a product of the Norwegian company Trolltech. You can always get the latest Qt™ version from their FTP server. And with most up-to-date Linux® distributions, Qt™ is already included. Please see Q: 4.4 for the version of Qt™ you need. |
