Trinity (not Trinity Desktop) is not a dangerous program. It is a kernel fuzz tester, that calls system calls at
random and it is intended to be used to spot bugs otherwise difficult to detect. Having said that, the name in not a
fortunate choice, since it partially match with Trinity Desktop Environment, which as raised by Mark it can generate
confusion among new users.
So we just need to make sure we always refer to TDE either as TDE or Trinity Desktop Environment or at least Trinity
Desktop.

As for the K in KDE, it initially meant "Kool", from which the make KDE.
Cheers
