Matt Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Well, the next thing I would like to do is install and run KDE. I recall one of the reasons I left Ubuntu was because I really didn't like gnome. It made me feel like I was working in OS 9. At the time, I wasn't aware that you could change the desktop environment. So, I'd love the install KDE, it looks awesome, and it seems most of you use it. I've tried commands such as apt-get install kdecore and similar commands expressed by crrj, but either I am told nothing was downloaded, or everything is up to date. So... I'm obviously doing something wrong, or I don't have the right files Thanks for the advice!Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That will download all of your packages in Debian. Then log-out and choose KDE on your graphical log-in screen and set it as your default desktop environment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kdebase pulls about 40 packages but none of the extra packages like kdegames etc... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Posted May 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 ok - cool. I was able to just select it on the login screen and set it from default. Thanks for the help guys. I'll probably have more questions about kde, so I'll post them in this thread if I do.Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
