["Ami Shamril" <ashamril@drb-hit.com>]

hi,

i just installed kde 3.1 on my linux machine. i think linux + kde is also a
cool desktop os :)

i use konstruct http://konsole.kde.org/konstruct/ to install it. other easy
way to install kde.

$ tar jxvf konstruct.tar.bz2
$ cd konstruct/meta/kde/; make install

will download & install everything for u including qt3.1

regards,
ashamril

has such a good linux binary compat layer. Considering that linux is really
taking off now. We can use the commercial (if need be) linux apps on BSD
