+title: "Welcome to the KDE/FreeBSD initiative"
+layout: page
+---
+This is the website for using, installing and building KDE® software on the FreeBSD® operating system.
+You can find documentation for applications that behave differently on FreeBSD than on Linux®.
+The installation and compilation instructions are specialized for FreeBSD administrators.
+In 2018, most of the content of this site migrated to
+[the KDE community wiki](https://community.kde.org/FreeBSD).
+This site continues to operate as a news page and to point the way
+into the community site.
+
+The [KDE](https://www.kde.org)® community is an international technology team 
+dedicated to creating a free and user-friendly computing experience, 
+offering an advanced graphical desktop, a wide variety of applications for communication, 
+work, education and entertainment and frameworks for building new applications.
+
+[FreeBSD](https://www.FreeBSD.org)® is an advanced operating system for modern server, 
+desktop, and embedded computer platforms. FreeBSD's code base has undergone over thirty years 
+of continuous development, improvement, and optimization. It is derived from BSD, 
+the version of UNIX® developed at the University of California, Berkeley.
+
+The [KDE/FreeBSD team](/people.php) hopes this site will be a
+valuable resource for all who are interested in maintaining the high level
+of compatibility between FreeBSD and KDE Software (KDE Frameworks 5,
+KDE Plasma and Applications and Extragear) that has been seen to date.
+The goal is to facilitate the discussion of patches, finding bugs,
+suggesting features and hopefully becoming a valuable member of both
+the KDE and FreeBSD communities.
+
+## Getting a Plasma 5 Session
+
+  A full KDE Plasma 5 Session, with KDE Frameworks underneath,
+  Plasma Desktop, and KDE Applications, can be had with
+  the <tt>x11/kde5</tt> metaport.
+  For details, [see the KDE-FreeBSD community wiki](https://community.kde.org/FreeBSD/Setup/Ports).
+
+
+## Getting a KDE4 Session
+
+> **Note** that KDE4 ports have been **deprecated**
+> by the KDE-FreeBSD team and will be removed at the end of 2018.
+
+  A legacy KDE4 Session, with kdelibs4 underneath,
+  legacy Plasma, and KDE Applications, can be had with
+  the <tt>x11/kde4</tt> metaport.
