Erik Kjær Pedersen (People Behind KDE)
[Posted July 3, 2006 by ris]
The People Behind KDE have
interviewed Erik Kjær Pedersen.
Erik does Danish translations. "
When did you first hear of
KDE? I was on sabbatical at Odense University in Denmark
1997/98. While I was there two students lived in my house and used my
computer. It had Win 3.1 on one third of the hard disk and OS/2 on another
third, but the last third was empty. They wrote and asked me whether they
could install Linux on the empty part, and I said yes. When I came back I
tried to log into Linux, and I could see the files in the OS/2
partition. Just for fun I used Latex on one of my Tex-files, and I was very
surprised that it worked without any problems. That turned me on to Linux,
and shortly thereafter I noticed KDE somehow, I am not completely sure how
it happened, but I think Red Hat had KDE as an option then." (Found
