What tools do i need to have so i can create Graphical User Interfaces? I have been wanting to program on Linux as my platform but i just do not know where to start. Thanks.

KDE's based on it. 2.2. Gtk : 2.2.1. Free. 2.2.2. I prefer because that. 2.2.3. Gnome's based on it. 3.1. I prefer Gtk for "FREE". 3.2. I Prefer KDE for better look. 3.2. But KDE is based on Qt. 3.3. In the other hand, you maybe make something nicer than KDE, by Gtk 3.4. Result : It's depend on yout taste.

But then , why is KDE partly free? Would that mean i cannot re-distribute the applications that i made? What are the significant differences between Gtk and Qt? Which one is more powerful then?

I think that the "partly free" reference was to Qt, the C++ library/API underlying KDE. There are versions of Qt that are, however, available under the GPL. GTK is C-based, while KDE is C++ and uses a much stricter OOP paradigm. I prefer the latter, but to each her/his own. One look at KDE or Gnome will show you that both a very capable approaches.

I could be wrong though. If you want C++ coding in GTK you can use GTKmm they are a collection of C++ bindings for GTK and in my opinion make coding in GTK a fair bit easier than using the base C libraries.
