Acronym for the K Desktop Environment. (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 has recently hit version 3.1 (it must be better than Gnome, it has a higher version number!). It uses Trolltech's QT? widget library.
