Hi
Thanks for your kindness and answering my question
I've just downloaded the CD version of kubuntu from www.kubuntu.org, is it possible to install KDE from that CD and have Gnome and KDE both? :p

That would overwrite Ubuntu, so you would be left with just Kubuntu. To have both on there, read Psychocats kde (http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/kde).

Code:
sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop


Actually the correct code is


sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop

You always want to have your repositories up-to-date before installing any software.

I know that when I added LXDE I just installed the LXDE package, not the desktop version. Doing it this way allows you to choose which desktop environment you want to use when logging in.

Here is a great tutorial on how to add KDE to Ubuntu. Please read it. http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/kde
