    KDE is not more then a graphical interface to the Linux OS.
    Free distro's are Fedora, Ubantoo, etc http://www.linux.org/dist/index.html
    Cheers

    As windows is the graphical userinface, that Windows is based on.

    There are 2 main Graphical Iuser interfaces, that most distros are based around.
    RedHat had Gnome as default.
    Others have KDE as default, main interface, that makes easy to use Linux.
    With windows, that popup for programs

    Now I want to know which are your favourite
    Distributions of Linux, that comes with KDE as default GUI ( Graphical User Interface ).

    Anybody

    😕
    .

      I'd use Gentoo. It doesn't come with either as a default, so you're free to choose.

        Well since KDE is just a GUI any Linux Distribution can have KDE. With that said there are some distros that only distribute KDE.

        KUbuntu - Ubuntu version with KDE Only. Ubuntu is Gnome
        Yoper - Ive used it temp and didnt like i much. Had a few conflicts with installing and services and just the general feel felt messy. Not your Web Service Distro.

        There the only ones that ive used there are more of course which distribute both KDE and Gnome. However just listing them from what ive used isnt going to help you.

        Have you ever used Linux before? People say Linux is easy to use, and yes it is to a certain degree however depending on which distribution you decide upon you will eventually require the use of the console so if you havent used it Id suggest using Knoppix to start off with just to get the fell of linux without even installing it.

        If you have used Linux what distribution did you use? There really arent that many differences to distributions if you really think about it. Some will change the UI of the GUI you chose and do some enhancements however there isnt much difference. The only significant difference is package management RPM and DEB are the most popular that I am aware of, of course Gentoo and others use different however DEB and RPM are the ones used in most distributions. If you liked the package management used by your previous experience of Linux perhaps its best to stay with it (of course theres never anything wrong with change).

        Why do you want to use Linux? Well why do you need to use it? Is it for Developing Web Pages with PHP and using Apache as a webserver, general desktop usage, gaming?. To decide what distro is best because someone said it is, isnt exactly smart they may use it for a different purpose then you wish to.

          I have used Linux enough to know
          that most any Linux can install either Gnome or KDE

          I only want to have some Linux distro that comes with KDE as default
          and which is configured like this from the start.
          Because I am used to KDE, I know howto use it and I like it.

          KUbuntu seems like an interesting alternative mentioned here.
          I might try to download it.

          www.DistroWatch.com is a good source of info.
          I should have done some looking there myself,
          guess I am too lazy and ask here instead
          😃

            I now as a temporary solution runs Linux from my CD.
            It is an interesting Boot-CD from ADIOS.

            You boot from the CD.
            You get some alternatives how you want to Run your ADIOS Linux.
            It will not touch your harddisk, unless you set Boot option r/w read and write to harddrive enable.

            ADIOS comes with FireFox 1.0 and Apache HTTP Server auto installs.
            Uses Kwrite as editor and Konqueror as file system handler.
            Images is handled with GIMP

            More info of this ADIOS Boot-CD project:

              Fedora works for me with both KDE and Gnome installed.

                Yes, Fedora is one of the leading Linux.
                Maybe I endup installing latest Fedora

                  I am downloading and burning Fedora Core 4.
                  One rescue disc plus 4 distro CD. Total 2.7GB

                  If I am not pleased with Fedora, I will try Ark Linux .
                  Also this comes with 4 discs.
                  Ark Linux targets people used to Windows automatical and easy to install.
                  A very good choice for those who wants to try Linux, for first time.
                  Still rather new and not so mature, Ark Linux is still already a good choice.
                  Sure to take a place on Top10 Linux distributions.

                    Hi, all americans and others ( even those in UK )

                    At www.distrowatch.com
                    you can find info and FREE Downloads of Kubuntu LINUX operative system, OS

                    I have downloaded and installed this LINUX
                    and it works ver well.
                    It is the KDE version of Ubuntu
                    which is top ranked among Linux distributions.

                    All links and info at this link:
                    http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=kubuntu

                    Only one CD-disc to burn.
                    you download this disc in ISO format.
                    Burns it into an install CDROM disc.

                    Then you boot and install this very nice LINUX OS.
                    you never go back to Microisofties Billy G. again ..
                    I can almost promise you.

                    My server ( Apache 2.0.54) is up and running
                    this perfectly alright PHP 5.0.5 website, in my LINUX computer

                    Also welcome to My PHP Forum with scripts info download
                    Will be the new phpbuilder website ( this one is too big and old 😃 )

                    😉 🆒 😉

                      To get the BEST "distro", try this with your K-Ubuntu ...

                      After you get Kubuntu up and running, run the Depenguinator, then do, as root:

                      cd /usr/ports/x11/kde3 && make install clean

                      In a little while, you'll have the best KDE desktop.....

                      😃

                      /me ducks and runs...

                        I can not login as root
                        this is special with KUbuntu

                        but maybe I can use 'sudo -u root' in some way
                        I usually do this when have to be root temporary

                        I try what you suggest
                        because you seem to know KUbuntu

                        hope it works
                        Thanks
                        halojoy
                        happy with KDE Ubuntu, very nice OS-system really

                          Um, Hi, halojoy.... :o

                          I'm hoping you realize that what I said is something of a joke, or "trolling". Colin Percival's "DePenguinator" is a program that you run on a Linux machine to overwrite the installtion with FreeBSD, instead. 😉

                          😃

                            But dear Linuxer,
                            this is a joke with a core of advice in it,
                            isnt it?
                            If I KNEW I gained a good LINUX,
                            with root access as it should be,
                            I wouldnt hesitate 1 second to run this FREEBSD install preparation.

                            Questions:
                            Can you recommend an FREEBSD install ?
                            Have you tried running it ?
                            What is the gain, any drawbacks, from for example a Unbuntu install ?

                            I have already thought about downloading the latest FREEBSD version ( 2 ISO discs for install )

                            Regards

                              Lets not forget the distro that many of the aforementioned are based on: debian.org Too bad they improved the installer---took all the fun out 😉
