4. The K Desktop Environment, or KDE, is an
environment for your desktop. Its main responsibility is to
manage what your windows do and what they look like. It
Provides you with a shortcut bar called the Kicker panel. It
gives you several different desktops to work on. It makes sure
your fonts look right. It provides you with a menu that you can
use to run applications. This menu is like the system menu on
Windows. KDE gives you applications like Konqueror, a
feature-rich yet simple way to browse around your system and
manage files. Konqueror also acts as a web browser.

6. The K Menu
The K Menu is where most applications can be found.
This menu is divided up into different sections. This is
so you will have an idea of where an application can be
found. For example, if you wanted to run your
OpenOffice word processor, you probably would not
look in the GAMES menu. The applications are
organized into these sections so you can find and run
your programs quickly. The concept of the K Menu
should be quite familiar to you. Browse through the
various submenus and get a feel for what applications
there are and where they can be found. That will be the
best way to learn what program is where.
