On this website:

is a Linux program that makes random system-calls. The author calls it a "fuzzer" and has named it "Trinity". When run, it creates lots of junk files, can delete pre-existing files, and do anything else the OS can do.
A friend of mine wanted to install TDE, but carelessly ran that "fuzzer" program instead. He cleaned out the junk files but doesn't know what other damage has been done.
People need to be warned about that program!
I sent e-mail to the author asking him to put a warning on his web page for people seeking TDE, but I don't know if he will do it.
Prospective TDE users must be sent here directly:

People DO look for things via Google. Trinity, as opposed to the original KDE-Trinity, was an unfortunate choice of name when it comes to search engines, and nowadays it usually does come to search engines. Perhaps determinedly call ourselves TDE _not_ Trinity. After all, the K in KDE didn't mean anything.
