-</question>
-<answer>
-<para
->&kde; is the K Desktop Environment. It is a project initiated by <ulink url="mailto:ettrich@kde.org"
->Matthias Ettrich</ulink
-> in 1996. The aim of the &kde; project is to connect the power of the &UNIX; operating systems with the comfort of a modern user interface.</para>
-<para
->In short, &kde; will bring &UNIX; to the desktop!</para>

-<para
->On which platforms can I expect &kde; to work?</para>
-</question>
-<answer>
-<para
->&kde; is a Desktop Environment for all flavours of &UNIX;. While it is true that most &kde; developers use &Linux;, &kde; runs smoothly on a wide range of systems. You may, however, need to tweak the source code a bit to get &kde; to compile on a not-so-popular variant of &UNIX;, or if you are not using the &GNU; development tools, in particular the &gcc; compiler.</para>
-<para
->For an almost complete list of systems &kde; is running on, please refer to <ulink url="http://promo.kde.org/kde_systems.php"
->this list of systems for KDE</ulink

-<question>
-<para
->Is &kde; a window manager?</para>
-</question>
-<answer>
-<para
->No, &kde; is not a window manager. While &kde; includes a very sophisticated window manager (&twin;), &kde; is much more than that. It is a full-blown Integrated Desktop Environment.</para>
-<para
->&kde; provides a complete desktop environment, including a web browser, a file manager, a window manager, a help system, a configuration system, uncountable tools and utilities, and an ever increasing number of applications, including but not limited to mail and news clients, drawing programs, a &PostScript; and a &DVI; viewer and so forth.</para>

-<para
->Is &kde; a <acronym
->CDE</acronym
->, &Windows; 95 or &Mac; <acronym
->OS</acronym
-> clone?</para>
-</question>
-<answer>
-<para
->No, &kde; is not a clone. Specifically &kde; is not a <acronym
->CDE</acronym
-> or &Windows; clone. While the &kde; developers have and will continue to glean the best features from all existing desktop environments, &kde; is a truly unique environment that has and will continue to go its own way.</para>

-<question>
-<para
->Is &kde; free software?</para>
-</question>
-<answer>
-<para
->Yes, &kde; is free software according to the &GNU; General Public Licence. All &kde; libraries are available under the <acronym
->LGPL</acronym
-> making commercial software development for the &kde; desktop possible, but all &kde; applications are licensed under the <acronym
->GPL</acronym
->.</para>
-<para
->&kde; uses the <link linkend="qt"
->&Qt; C++ crossplatform toolkit</link
->, which is also released (since version 2.2) under the <acronym
->GPL</acronym
->.</para>
-<para
->It is absolutely legal to make &kde; and &Qt; available on &CD-ROM; free of charge. No runtime fees of any kind are incurred.</para>
