The Linux world sure is large. I think I use about 0.001% of what is available.
Debian and Debian XFCE, KDE, Virtual-Manager, KVM, QEMU, Firefox, Chromium,
apt, Synaptic, rsync are my most cherished programs, as well as all the other
programs that make Linux work so well (e.g. Terminal and other Linux
components).
Then there is also Steam, VLC, Wine, etc which I also make good use of.
Thank you to all who contribute to Linux, big or small ! (including those to
make debian-user interesting reading and give me fun distractions to research,
lol)

KVM (for Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization
solution for Linux on x86 hardware containing virtualization extensions (Intel
VT or AMD-V). It consists of a loadable kernel module, kvm.ko, that provides
the core virtualization infrastructure and a processor specific module,
kvm-intel.ko or kvm-amd.ko.
Using KVM, one can run multiple virtual machines running unmodified Linux or
Windows images. Each virtual machine has private virtualized hardware: a
network card, disk, graphics adapter, etc.
KVM is open source software. The kernel component of KVM is included in
mainline Linux, as of 2.6.20. The userspace component of KVM is included in
mainline QEMU, as of 1.3.

Program Development Team
These are the people who deserve the most credit for initially creating KMail
and raising it from its birth in 1997 through its early childhood ca. 2005.
They may be regarded as the parents of KMail. A handful of them are still
contributing code and bug fixes to the project today.

* Backported Ingo Klocker's changes from head to make_it_cool
(kompare_shell.cpp 1.34 -> 1.35). This is about being able to
configure the shortcuts from kompare_part as well. Thanks Ingo !
