[NTLUG:Discuss] Fw: The in's & outs of synaptic packsge manager

[Allen Meyers]

Gilbert, Alan and all who offered suggestions and resource I thank you.
I am convinced we all choose our ultimate linux vehicle for varied and diverse reasons.. Therein lies the appeal fpr linux user, its multiple choices, appearances etc.
As much as I dislike MS and its outreach I would be the first to admit MS introduced me to electronic age and I got use to how windows looks.
That being said Kubuntu is so similar to the windows look I feel at home.
I hope this does not turn into a war on which is best
Thanks to all

  Gilbert, I would be interested in your grief with Ubuntu - in another
  thread.

  Allen,

  'sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop'
  On the screen where one logs in (after reboot and install) you should have
  an options button - click it and select KDE or gnome then select it as the
  default.

  (old picks, but might help identify what I'm referring to)
