KDE - KDE KDE (K Desktop Environment) is a free graphical desktop environment and framework built with Trolltech's Qt toolkit for Unix. The "K" originally stood for "Kool", but was later changed to stand simply for "K," which is "The first letter before 'L' (which stands for Linux) in the Latin alphabet." According to the KDE website, "KDE is a network transparent contemporary desktop environment for UNIX workstations. KDE seeks to fill the need for an easy to use desktop for Unix workstations, similar to the desktop environments found under MacOS or Microsoft Windows." KDE was originally patterned after CDE, the "Common Desktop Environment." CDE is an older Unix desktop environment used by commercial Unix vendors, such as Sun Microsystems and Hewlett-Packard. Historically, the GNU project had concerns.
KDevelop - 2.1 which is now declared obsolete. The successor, called "Gideon" (KDevelop 3.0), is a complete rewrite of KDevelop. It is planed to release it together with KDE 3.2 in February 2004.

The new version 3.0 ("Gideon"), is currently under development, and supports many more programming languages like Ada, Bash, Fortran, Java, Pascal, Perl, Python, Ruby and SQL..

KGX - KGX is an acronym for the free software combination of KDE/GNU/linuX for a graphical workstation. This term was invented as a means to market the usage of KDE on GNU/Linux platforms. These types of acronyms have been somewhat successful for other products (see LAMP), but KGX never really built any momentum. KGX is the SIL code for the Kamaru language of Sulawesi. KGX is the FAA identifier for the Grayling Airport of Grayling, Alaska..
KHTML - KHTML is the HTML layout engine developed by the KDE project. It was created for and is used in KDE's Konqueror file and web browser. The engine was later adopted by Apple for its Safari browser, and the company promised to return all improvements to the main code branch. Another company using KHTML for their product is YellowTAB - the company that bought the rights of BeOS. It is written in C++ and licensed under the LGPL. It supports HTML 4, CSS 1 and 2, DOM and JavaScript. Some extra abilities and quirks from Internet Explorer are supported, even though they are not part of the HTML standard definition.

Any empty piles can be filled with a King or a pile of cards with a King at the top. There are different ways of dealing the remainder of the deck: some choose to turn three cards at once to the waste, and either allow three passes through the deck or place no limit on passes through the deck; others turn only one over, but only pass through the deck once. Microsoft has included Klondike as part of the Windows operating system since the 1.x series. Just like GNOME and KDE, who provided corresponding applications (sol and kpat) already since early versions. It has been reported.

The Gnoppix project uses a modified form of Knoppix with GNOME as the default desktop environment. It includes some added packages that are not currently considered stable and some other modifications to the packages: i.e. for hardware autodetection, because Knoppix automatically recognizes most Linux supported hardware on the computer when booting.

Kopete - MSN Messenger, and Yahoo! Messenger written for the KDE desktop into which it integrates very well. Project history December 26, 2001 Duncan Mac-Vicar Prett starts coding a KDE ICQ clone after the ICQ protocol changed, causing LICQ to be unable to login on the network. After a few weeks learning the KDE API, Licq was updated. Duncan designs a basic plugin API based on Noatun and refocuses Kopete as a plugin based multiprotocol client. Nick Betcher joins Duncan. Nick codes an AIM plugin based on the Kit AIM engine, while the ICQ plugin was based on the KxICQ engine, called KxEngine. Duncan continues working on the core library and a basic MSN plugin, based on KMerlin protocol code. March 3, 2002 - Kopete 0.2 released April 5, 2002 - Kopete 0.3.
KStars - that runs under the GNU/Linux operating system. It uses the KDE graphic environment.

KWord - free (GPL) word processor, member of the KOffice project of the KDE Desktop Environment. Despite the name, KWord isn't meant simply as a clone of Microsoft Word. Although it is hoped in the future that KWord will support most of Word's features, in some important respects it is different. The text-layout scheme in KWord is based on frames, making it similar to Adobe PageMaker. These can be placed anywhere on the page, and can incorporate text, graphics and embedded objects. Each new page is a new frame, but the text is able to flow through KWord's ability to link frames together. The use of frames means that complicated graphical layouts can be achieved relatively easily in KWord. Project homepage is http://www.koffice.org/kword.
Jamie Zawinski - source code of the Mozilla browser, but became disillusioned with the project and resigned from Netscape Communications Corporation on April 1, 1999.

Integrated development environment - several languages such as C#, C++, Visual BASIC and VB.NET. The latest version of Visual Studio is suffixed with ".NET" to indicate that it supports the new .NET languages: C#, Visual BASIC.NET and Managed C++.
