The K Desktop Environment is an Open Source graphical desktop environment (GUI) and framework built with Trolltech's QT Toolkit for Unix and thus Linux workstations.

The project was announced in October 1996 by [Matthias Ettrich]?, and KDE 1.0 was released in July 1998, to be followed by version 2.0 in October 2000. The current version (2.2.2) was released in November 2001.
