However, this site is often under heavy load, so you might prefer to use download.kde.org which automatically redirects you to the mirror nearest to you.

As building a distribution takes some time, they might not always contain the latest version, but for a start or to avoid downloading from the Internet, they do provide a good starting point. +You can find an up-to-date list of distributions that ship with &kde; here. + + + + + + +What is the current version? + + + +Currently, the latest stable version is 3.2 + +The &kde; 3.2 Info Page contains a lot of information specific to this release. + + + + + +Where do I find &kde; snapshots? + + +You can get the latest snapshots from ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/unstable/snapshots.

You can always get the latest &Qt; version from their &FTP; server. +And with most up-to-date &Linux; distributions, &Qt; is already included.

It also includes many utility classes like string classes and classes to handle input and output. It provides most of the widgets you will see in a &kde; application: menus, buttons, sliders, &etc;. &Qt; is a cross-platform library that allows you to write code that will compile on &UNIX; systems as well as &Windows; and embedded devices.
