[lug] K 3.0 - "Linux's best shot at corporate desktop"

[bill ehlert]

For all its server room successes, Linux has
found the mainstream corporate desktop a much
harder nut to crack, and much of the blame
belongs to usability issues. With a solid,
configurable interface that should please Linux
newbies and power users alike, Version 3.0 of
the K Desktop Environment represents Linux's best
shot yet at breaking out of the back office to
gain ground on the desktop. 

KDE—as well as the GNU Network Object Model
Environment, or GNOME, the other major Linux
desktop environment—is layered onto X Window
System and Linux in roughly the way that
Windows 9x sat atop DOS. KDE 3.0 masks this
complexity much more effectively than did
revious versions, where simple operations such as
cut and paste functioned unpredictably at
times.
