I have a fresh installation of Precise on a new computer and I thought that, for the sake of variety and because I can, I would (*ahem*) INSTALL ALL THE DESKTOPS! (http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_D_Z-D2tzi14/TBpOnhVqyAI/AAAAAAAADFU/8tfM4E_Z4pU/s400/responsibility12(alternate).png) (And hopefully they all play nice together.)

I'm finding more than one way to install KDE and I'm wondering what the difference is. One place briefly explained the difference between kde-standard and kde-full, but what about kde-plasma-desktop? And I'm sure there are other variations.

Thanks,
raen

kde-standard pulls in a minimal set of KDE applications. kde-full pulls in all KDE apps. kde-plasma-desktop merely gives you the Plasma Workspace and a really mimimal set of libraries it need to work.
Your choice :)

So it's basically plasma-desktop < standard < full ?

(I do mean "mathematically less than" and not "less good than.")
