Ludwig Ruderstaller: Für was steht das K in KDE?

Beitrag lesen

Ok, ja mir war grad fad....

paar auszüge aus mailings betreffend kdes namen:

BTW, why call it KDE when it could be called LDE
(Linux Desktop Environment ?) ;-)

Because whatever these KDE people come up with would (should) be runnable
on any Unix system without too much trouble... be it Linux, FreeBSD, or
some commercial OS.

Yeah, maybe call it "Desktop For White Men", and since white men are a kind of
human, and so all of mankind will use it!

And ka11ing 1t Koo1 is 1ess of a turn-0ff?
AAH!  Don't *do* that.  <shudder>

Just the effect I was looking for!  Seeing the phrase "Kool Desktop
Environment" sends a shiver down my spine.
---------------------------------------------------

UND DER WICHTIGSTE SATZ:

Matthias only used that as a working title. If you can come up with
something better, he's very open for suggestions. It would be a shame
if people were turned off only by the name.
