Getting Started with the KDE
Desktop
This chapter assists you in becoming familiar with the KDE desktop of your SUSE®
Linux Enterprise Desktop. If you have not yet installed your system, see Installation
Quick Start at http://www.novell.com/documentation/sled10/.
KDE stands for K Desktop Environment and is a graphical user interface that has many
applications designed to help you in your daily work. KDE also offers many choices
to modify your desktop according to your needs and wishes. Read more about config-
uring your desktop in
Chapter 2, Customizing Your Settings
(page 61).
The following description is based on the default configuration of the KDE desktop
shipped with your product. If you or your system administrator has modified the defaults,
some aspects may be different, such as appearance or keyboard shortcuts.
1.1 Logging In and Selecting a
Desktop
If more than one user account is configured on your computer, all users must authenti-
cate. When you start your system, you are prompted to enter your username and pass-
word. This is the username and password you created when you installed your system.
If you did not install your system, check with your system administrator for your user-
name and password.
