Erik Kjær Pedersen (People Behind KDE)

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 on KDE.News)
