KDE The latest beta of KDE's 3.2, beta 2, was released a few days ago. I installed the provided Fedora RPMs and had a look in this early pre-release version of the popular X11 desktop environment. Six screenshots are included. We look at both the strengths and the weaknesses of the DE.

About the multitudes of included apps
by RdsArts on Mon 15th Dec 2003 12:36 UTC

Most of the KDE apps in the base packages can be "compiled out" with compile-time flags.

If you search around in the source-based-distro-that-shall-not-be-named's forums, you'll see more then a handful of people discussing it. And even a script or two to automate it for their packaging system.

But that said, this should be the job of a distro's packager. The fact that no one does it is not a fault of KDE, but rather the distributions.
