KDE on FreeBSD

KDE is a powerful Open Source graphical desktop environment for Unix and Unix-like workstations. It combines ease of use, contemporary functionality and outstanding graphical design with the technological superiority of the Unix operating system.

FreeBSD is an advanced operating system for x86 compatible (including Pentium® and Athlon™), amd64 compatible (including Opteron™, Athlon 64, and EM64T), Alpha/AXP, IA-64, PC-98 and UltraSPARC® architectures. It is derived from BSD, the version of UNIX® developed at the University of California, Berkeley.

The KDE on FreeBSD team hopes this site will be a valuable resource for all who are interested in maintaining the high level of compatibility between FreeBSD and KDE that has been seen to date. The goal is to facilitate the discussion of patches, finding bugs, suggesting features and hopefully becoming a valuable member of both the KDE and FreeBSD communities.

  The media kioslave now mounts all filesystems that support charset conversion
  with charset conversion turned on, set to the locale from the user's
  environment (LANG). If you are using a customized kernel configuration, make
  sure all *_iconv kernel modules are available. At the time of writing, these
  are cd9660_iconv, udf_iconv, msdosfs_iconv and ntfs_iconv.
