[Acronym] for the __K__ __D__esktop __E__nvironment. (Like K-RAD, but a desktop, not a uh, RAD).
This DesktopEnvironment is one of the two most popular for Linux. (The other is [GNOME].)
-Often used because it is easy to configure, and can look similar to windows by default. Great for newbies and highly configureable by those more advanced. A bit too much eye candy for some, perhaps.

KDE's default web browser
+!! Changing
KDE's default web browser
By default, KDE will open web links using konquerer. There's nothing in the GUI config that will let you change this, nor is there any help in kde.org's own FAQ's or mailing lists, and a google search turns up many people asking how with very few functional replies. Usually they suggest changing the MIME associations for text/html, which only changes how KDE opens html documents when they're sitting on your desktop.
So, after almost six hours of googling, asking on IRC, and generally making a pest of myself I finally found out that under debian at least it is trivially easy; just set the BROWSER environment variable to point to the browser you want.
This doesn't appear to actually be documented anywehre that google knows about, so hopefully mentioning it on the WIKI will help a few people.
