The KDE Hispano user group has published a HOWTO on installing KDE 3.1.2 on Debian Sarge (testing). Although it is very easy to install KDE 3.1.2 on Debian Woody (simply add a line to souces.list), and even easier on Sid (unstable) where it is available by default, there aren't specific packages for Sarge -- only the old KDE 2.2.2 ones. Of course, the HOWTO is also available in Spanish. Enjoy! Read More

In the following interview, Andrew Stanley-Jones, original author of KSirc, gives us some of the insights behind the design of KSirc -- the Internet Relay Chat (IRC) client for KDE.

If you have any other ideas, please be quick to voice them as the interview time is imminent. Read More
