Installing kubuntu Desktop
Greetings,
After needing to wipe and reinstall kubuntu server and KDE several times, I deciede to just load kubuntu desktop instead. This process is quick and simple.
NOTE: Here are the links f you wish to use kubuntuo Server and KDE.
kubuntu Desktop
1) Download kubuntu v6.10 and burn it to a CD.
2) Boot to the CD.
3) Click on the install icon.
4) Go with the default, unless you know what your doing.
5) Finally click on the "RESTART" when it is done.
Now do a quick update, similar to a Windows Update.
1) Click on the "K", the "START" button so to speak for Windows users.
2) Choose System, then Adept Package Manager.
3) Enter your "root" password (again to the XP folks that would be the admin password).
4) From the menu bar, pick Adept, then Manage Reposistories.
5) Scroll down to the line that says, "deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy"
6) Right click and enable it.
7) Now click APPLY.
Your almost there, just a few more things...
1) Click the FETCH UPDATES icon. Wait for it to gather the patches & updates.
2) Click the FULL UPGRADE icon.
3) Click the APPLY CHANGES icon. Wait for it to load them all. Wait...Wait...Wait.
4) Reboot, once it is complete.
DONE! You now have an updated kubuntu desktop computer.

If you are behind a firewall you will need to add the following file in order for apt-get to work correctly. Type...
sudo nano /etc/bash.bashrc
Go to the bottom of the file and enter the following with your information...
export http_proxy=http://http-proxy:8080/
export https_proxy=http://https-proxy:8080/
export ftp_proxy=http://ftp-proxy:8080/
Then type...
CTRL + X to exit
Y (yes) to Save
Enter (bash.bashrc)
Exit the console.
Start a new console to use the new settings.
