I am brand new to Linux and Ubuntu and I'm liking it. However I did run into a problem that I'm glad was early on. After loading ubuntu 9.04 I decided to see what KDE looked like but ended up loading KDM (I still not sure of the difference). Anyway, I found I was liking Gnome better, but could find no way of switching back. You see I had loaded Ubuntu without a login screen, so there was no way I could I could go to the options window. I tried everything; "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm" (BTY, why does the abbrev for Gnome have a "D" in it), I even uninstalled both desktops down to line commands and then re-installed GDM and KDM still showed up! What should I have done? Anyway, I eventually just re-installed Ubutu.
