Hi Guys,
I have searched the forums and could not find an answer to this question so I though I should just post.
Quite simply, I have Xubuntu and like it. But I like to change window managers (I'm quite new to linux and like to learn different aspects of each) so I want to install both gnome and KDE4 on this Xubuntu 8.10 that I have working relatively flawlessly (except 3d acceleration on my intel 965).
In any case, from the add/remove software section, I simply cannot find any Gnome install, and the KDE install tells me in the description that it cannot be installed on my system (a Toshiba L300 notebook: Intel Core Duo, Intel x3100 (965), 2GB Ram.
Now I do already have Kubuntu 8.10 live on disc but cant figure out how to install KDE into this Xubuntu build. I have no discs with Gnome on them.
Furthermore, when I installed Open Office writer from the Xubuntu add/remove section, it installed 2.4 instead of 3 which is not what I want.
I should mention that I have default repositories installed (I am not even sure how to change them, which is something I actually would like to learn how to do as I cannot find "TrueCrypt" or the game "Python Kye" on the standard repos.
Also, I have applied all of the Xubuntu 8.10 updates to current.
Anyway I think thats everything, hope its not too much to ask.
Please let me know if I left anything out, which I undoubtedly did!
Cheers,
Chewy
