<question id="where-to-get-kde">
<para>Where do I get &tde;?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<!-- This needs a rewrite including informations about the latest version (link to the info page?)-->
<para>The easiest way to get &tde; is to install a &Linux; distribution or another UNIX-like OS that ships with &tde;.
You can find an up-to-date list of distributions that ship
with &tde; <ulink url="http://www.kde.org/download/distributions.php">here</ulink>. For alternative methods of
trying &tde; that do not require you to be running &Linux;, please see
<ulink url="http://kde.org/try_kde">Try &tde;</ulink></para>
<para>The main distribution site for &tde; is
<ulink url="ftp://ftp.kde.org/">ftp.kde.org</ulink>. However, this site is
often under heavy load, so you might prefer to use
<ulink url="http://download.kde.org/">download.kde.org</ulink> which automatically
redirects you to the mirror nearest to you.
You can also have a look at the list of <ulink url="http://www.kde.org/ftpmirrors.html"> &tde; mirror sites</ulink>.</para>

<question>
<para>Where do I find &tde; snapshots?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>You can get the latest snapshots from <ulink
url="ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/unstable/snapshots">ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/unstable/snapshots</ulink>.
You might also want to consider setting up your own <acronym>SVN</acronym> client in order to
maintain the latest snapshot at all times. Please refer to <ulink
url="http://developer.kde.org/source/anonsvn.html">Anonymous <acronym>SVN</acronym> and &tde;</ulink> for further

<para>Where do I get &Qt;?</para>
</question>

<ulink url="ftp://ftp.trolltech.com">&FTP; server</ulink>.</para>
<para>

included. Please see <xref linkend="prerequisites"/> for the version
