    ubuntulogo.jpgOne of Linux strong points over Windows is the capability to switch desktops. Several exist, but the two most popular are Gnome and KDE. For Windows users, KDE will have a familar Windows XP feel, while Gnome may seem dull.

    If you have been using Ubuntu, which uses Gnome as the default desktop, or Kubuntu which uses KDE as the desktop, and have been wondering what the other desktop looks like, you can easily install KDE or Gnome and switch back and forth before logging on to Ubuntu.

    

    

    

    

    If you are running Ubuntu, you can install KDE by opening a terminal window and type:

    sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop

    When prompted, enter your password, and then answer yes (Y) when asked if you want to  install. The install may take some time to complete, so be patient.

    To install Gnome in Kubuntu, open a Terminal window and type:

    sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

    When prompted, enter your password and continue with the install until it has been completed.

    Now reboot either Ubuntu or Kubuntu. Then at the logon screen you can either press F10 or click on the Options logo at the bottom (left side) of the login screen. Then click on Select Session…

    Here you can select Gnome (2) or KDE (3) by selecting the radio button.

    During the next logon, you will see a prompt asking if you want to use the same desktop manager Just For This Session or Make Default (so you don't have to be bother with the prompt again).

    To change back to either KDE or Gnome, press F10 and select the desktop manager of your choice.

    If you changed from the previous desktop manager, you can make it the default at the next logon.
