+find that piece of information you're looking for, this may be a very
+time-consuming task. To make this easier for you, &tde; offers
+full text search using a program called

+<title>The <application>Man</application> and <application>Info</application>
+sections</title>
+
+<para>Man pages are the standard &UNIX; manual pages, and have been in
+use for many years on many operating systems. They are extremely
+thorough, and are the very best place to get information about most
+&UNIX; commands and applications. When people say
+<quote>RTFM</quote>, the Manual they are referring to is very often the
+man page.</para>
+
+<para>The man pages are not perfect. They tend to be in depth, but
+also extremely technical, often written by developers, and for
+developers. In some cases this makes them somewhat unfriendly, if not
+downright impossible for many users to understand. They are, however,
+the best source of solid information on most command line
+applications, and very often the only source.</para>
+
+<para>If you've ever wondered what the number is when people write
+things like man(1) it means which section of the manual the item is
+in. You will see &khelpcenter; uses the numbers to divide the very many
+man pages into their own sections, making it easier for you to find
+the information you're looking for, if you're just browsing.</para>
+
+<para>Also available are the Info pages, intended to be a replacement
+for the man pages. The maintainer of some applications no longer
+update the man pages, so if there is both a man page and an info page
+available, the info page is probably the most recent. Most
+applications have one or the other though. If the application you are
+looking for help on is a &GNU; utility, you will most likely find it
+has an info page, not a man page.</para>

+<title>What is the Trinity Desktop Environment?</title>
+
+<para>&tde; is a desktop environment. In other words, &tde; is a
+collection of programs, technologies and documentation that attempt to
+make life easier for computer users. &tde; is targeted at &UNIX;
+workstations. &tde; features network transparency and a contemporary work
+flow philosophy.</para>
+
+<para>Historically, the Trinity Desktop Environment is a fork of the K Desktop Environment
+version 3.5, originally written by the KDE Team, a world-wide network of
+software engineers committed to Free Software development. This group's
+major goal in free software development is to provide high quality software
+that empowers the user with easy control of his computer's resources.</para>
+
+<para>The &tde; developers continue the tradition of KDE 3.5.</para>
+
+<para>&tde; seeks to fill the need for an easy to use desktop for
+&UNIX; workstations, similar to the desktop environments found under
+&MacOS; or &Windows;. &tde; meets the requirement
+of users for an easy to use work environment. Tools used to reach
+this goal are: enhanced inter-application communication, component
+reuse, generalized drag and drop, uniform look and feel and many
+more. Thus, &tde; offers much more than the traditional &UNIX; window
+managers.</para>
+
+<para>Stability, scalability and openness are qualities which have
+made &UNIX; the undisputed choice for the information technology
+professional for many years. &tde; builds on top of this excellent
+base framework and brings new, much needed qualities: usability, user
+friendliness and beauty! &tde; remains as a forefront
+player in bringing these qualities to &UNIX; systems, which constituted for
+years, the premier platform for server computers and scientific
+institutions, but wasn't very attractive for desktop users.</para>
+
+<para>Without Unix the Internet would not exist, or at least would
+have a vastly different form. Unix has not, until recent years, addressed the
+needs of the average computer user. This fact is particularly
+unfortunate, since a number of implementations of &UNIX; systems (<ulink
+url="http://www.linux.org">&Linux;</ulink>, <ulink
+url="http://www.freebsd.org">FreeBSD</ulink>, <ulink
+url="http://www.netbsd.org">NetBSD</ulink>, &etc;) are freely
+available on the Internet, all of which are of exceptional quality and
+stability.</para>

+<sect1 id="what-is-tde-the-desktop">
+<title>&tde; The Desktop Environment</title>
+
+<para>In combination with a free implementation of &UNIX; systems, &tde;
+provides to the world an open and completely free desktop computing
+platform either at home or at work.</para>
+
+<para> This platform is available to anyone free of charge including
+its source code for anyone to modify.</para>
+
+<para>While there will always be room for improvement we believe we
+provide a viable alternative to some of the more commonly
+found and commercial operating systems/desktops combinations available
+today. It is our hope that the combination of &UNIX; systems and &tde; will
+finally bring the same open, reliable, stable, and monopoly free
+computing to the average computer user that scientists and computing
+professionals world-wide have enjoyed for years.</para>

+<para>&tde; focuses on the user's needs, but it's obvious that this
+focus is more easily achieved by also giving developers the best
+tools. &tde; code contains, and comes with, some of the best
+development technologies of the modern computing age.</para>
+
+<para>Authoring applications under &UNIX;/X11 systems used to be an extremely
+tedious and labor intensive process. &tde; developers recognize the fact that a
+computing platform is only as good as the number of first class
+applications available to the users of that particular
+platform.</para>
+
+<para>&tde; includes technologies such as &DCOP; and KParts, created to
+offer a component document model and technology. Together with the
+complete &tde; libraries programming interface, &DCOP;/KParts are set
+in direct competition with other similar technologies like &Microsoft;
+<abbrev>MFC</abbrev>/<abbrev>COM</abbrev>/ActiveX technologies. The
+excellent quality and the high level of refinement of &tde;'s
+application programming interface (<acronym>API</acronym>) enables
+developers to focus on original and interesting issues and avoid
+reinventing the wheel.</para>
