Sure there is. You just don't install KDE on your computer.
Simple as that. If your mind hadn't been confused and numbed by
all that eye-candy you'd know that.

KDE is just a collection of applications. Their advertising tries
to make it seem to be something more than that, but it isn't.
Just like their advertising tries to make you believe it is a
complete user interface, but it isn't.

The best way to run Slackware, and Linux in general, is with
X and a good window manager and a good file manager, from the
commandline in 'xterms'. Use X apps when they are the best ones
for the job, and console apps when they are the best choice.

That's ODE, the Other Desktop Environment.

You don't have to be some kind of guru to do that. I certainly
am not. But that's what the KDE technocrats and their corporate
sponsors want you to believe: That you need them to run your
computer.

That's what corporations do: They lie to people to promote
dependency on them.

KDE is a clone of the Windows user-interface, created by big
corporations in order to steal Linux from the general public.
They don't like operating systems that are free and that they
can't access when they choose. They don't like people who don't
need their help. They don't like free and open source software.
All these things are anaethema to the corporate agenda.

So they created KDE to lure Windows-users, ignorant appliance
operators, into the Linux world in large numbers, in order to
overwhelm the Linux revolutionaries.

It isn't working.

They can take KDE and grease it up and shove it where the
sun don't shine.

KDE is as much free as Linux is, its GPLed. Probably You feel that
Linux is still for command liners and bashers. What do You wanna say
about GNOME, Compiz and XGL?

Please ignore thomas, he is the AOLS troll, hes already
been kicked off one news providor for abuse and cyber-stalking and
bordering on his second termination, not to mention his ISP as well for
violation of their T&C
