My question's title is pretty straightforward. Is there a difference between installing KDE with the command "apt-get install kdm
" or "apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
"?
I'm installing Penguy OS on a virtual drive on my Macbook Pro, and I understand it is based on Ubuntu. I already know that I like KDE more than the alternative desktops available.
I just want to know which command to type once the installation finishes in order to get KDE on there.
And just in case it's questioned, I downloaded Kubuntu but it did not get along with VirtualBox which is why I'm going for Penguy.
Many thanks!
