I'd like to try out the Xubuntu desktop in 11.10, see if I like it etc. I've read that I can just do

sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
but when I tried that a few versions ago I ended up with an entirely Xubuntu "branded" machine (boot screen, login screen, etc.). I don't want that, I'd just like to add it as an option. Can I just install XFCE, or will I be missing Ubuntu specific stuff?

Thanks

You could also try:


sudo apt-get install xfce4

I don't think that has any Xubuntu stuff in it.

Alternatively you could burn an ISO DVD and try before you buy as it were - :)
