If you try to divide Linux distributions up by package format, you end up with two large and three small families: The big families descend from Debian and Red Hat. The small families descend from Slackware, Arch, and Gentoo. There are also some singletons with their own package formats. TDE is, or has been, available for all five families, although I'm uncertain of its status on Arch and Slackware at this time (or on BSD for that matter), and not all packages are available for Gentoo (yet). Whether or not it would be possible to install TDE on OSX with the aid of libraries from something like Homebrew . . . I don't think anyone's ever tried, but my guess is that it wouldn't work very well. E.
