Hi
I'm running a regular installation of Ubuntu 10.10 with Gnome. I would like to try LXDE and other desktop environment, BUT without installing the entire Lubuntu.
Last time I tried something like that, I installed the kubuntu-desktop package which came with a ton of software I didn't want. I couldn't even remove it easily, so I followed a tutorial which made me remove some of the software I had BEFORE messing with KDE. :neutral:
So what I'm asking is simple - is there a standalone package that installs nothing but another desktop environment? I also want to be able to remove it with a simple apt-get remove.

Thank you.
