Installing KDE

Greetings,

Being a Windows user and a newbie to Linux, I prefer a GUI and one that looks like Windows. So after installing unbuntu v6.10 server, I also install the KDE interface.

Log in and type the following...
sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
Enter your password again and wait.

You will need 400mb of space, and your ubuntu CD. Put it in the drive and answer "Y" to all the questions.

Wait...wait...wait...Yes, it is installing alot of good stuff, including Open Office and who knows what else, but it's worth it.

NOTE: Here is a good ubuntu site for adding other software too...

Once it is finally done, and your are returned to the prompt, re-boot by typing...
sudo shutdown -r now

Yeah! Now doesn't that look prettier! Almost like Windows, almost like home.
