July 28, 2005 (The INTERNET). The KDE Project today announced the immediate

UNIXes. KDE 3.4.2 ships with a basic desktop and fifteen other packages 
(PIM, administration, network, edutainment, utilities, multimedia, games,
artwork, web development and more). KDE's award-winning tools and 
applications are available in 51 languages including a new Afrikaans
language pack.

KDE, including all its libraries and its applications, is available
for free under Open Source licenses. KDE can be obtained in source
and numerous binary formats from http://download.kde.org and can also be 
obtained on CD-ROM or with any of the major GNU/Linux - UNIX systems
shipping today.
