Getting KDE
| 3.1. | Where do I get 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. | Are there Linux® distributions that include KDE? |
Yes, major Linux® distributions already ship KDE. As building a distribution takes some time, they might not always contain the latest version, but for a start or to avoid downloading from the Internet, they do provide a good starting point. You can find an up-to-date list of distributions that ship with KDE here. | |
| 3.3. | 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. | |
| 3.4. | 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. | |
| 3.5. | 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. |
