Title: Good old SUSE: KDE3 on today’s openSUSE

Until some time, SUSE shipped with a default desktop environment called
KDE3[1], and even today, openSUSE is the only distribution, for which KDE3[2]
packages are still available.
In contrast to the fork TDE[3] (Trinity Desktop Environment), these are the
original KDE3 packages, which have also been used in earlier versions of SUSE
Linux, and they were merely adapted to run under modern Linux systems.
In the following tutorial, you are going to learn how to set up a current
openSUSE system, with the look and feel of the original SUSE versions.

An absolutely great idea, as it makes it much easier to see what the main
desktop environments were like many moons ago. I hope similar tutorials spring
up for GNOME and other desktop environments.
