http://www.linuxbsdos.com – My favorite desktop environment just turned 15. The K Desktop Environment (KDE) has come a long way. There were good times and bad times, and I temporarily abandoned it during one of those bad times. But like many KDE users at that time, I was convinced that I had a good reason to. But all that’s history. Now I love my KDE.

An excerpt: Claudia Rauch: You were one of the founding members of KDE e.V. back in 1997. (General)
