Asked by Piet

Im a newbee to linux and no IT experience so am working with gui - forgive cross-posting -

I have been working with ubuntu but want to switch to kubuntu

do i have to reload kubuntu from the start (and wipe out all my data already on disk) or can I easily switch from ubuntu to kubuntu?

Hello,

you can install the kubuntu desktop environment via synaptic:
gnome-panel->system->administration->synaptic package manager->search
for kubuntu-desktop and kde-i18n- and mark both packages for
installation->hit aply.

During the installation a configuration dialog for kdm
(kde-desktop-manager) will open. During the next boot you can change the
desktop environment by changeing the session-type.

$ sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop xubuntu-desktop edubuntu-desktop (if you want install kubuntu, edubuntu, xubuntu)

Can you help with this problem?
