I want to download KDE to run on Ubuntu Maverick, as well as keep Gnome.

I tried:
sudo apt-get install kde-minimal

But that package no longer exists. So, what is the KDE-Core (which doesn't exist anymore either) package now?

Any my redundancy question is: Where do I go to search for current packages? I've looked in Launchpad, but that's more to add repositories and track bugs.

This is only a guess but could it be the KDE base package?

Get KDE here: http://www.kde.org/download/

Thanks for the quick responses.

What I am looking for is the current Ubuntu package that is the same as KDE-Core or KDE-Minimal from earlier releases. Does Maverick have that package?

Not as far as I can see-

http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=KDE&searchon=names&suite=maverick&section=all

Pity they dont have a KDE-minimal or KDE-core at the moment. Maybe its still in the pipeline?
