    <para>
      <application>Qt</application> is a cross-platform application
      framework that is widely used for developing application software
      with a graphical user interface (GUI) (in which cases Qt is classified
      as a widget toolkit), and also used for developing non-GUI programs such
      as command-line tools and consoles for servers. One of the major users
      of <application>Qt</application> is <application>KDE</application>.

    <title>Alternate Qt Installation Instructions</title>

    <para>
      This section provides an alternate way to install Qt by installing 
      almost all of the files in the <filename class="directory">/opt</filename>
      directory. This allows management of all Qt related files in one unit.
      For instance, a new version of Qt5 can be installed without over-writing 
      the existing installation and entire Qt5 instances can be easily removed.
      However, it has the disadvantage of needing some extra configuration.
