For you who have installed Ubuntu / Kubuntu / Xubuntu, you can switch between desktop environment easily.
Here are the desktop environments used by each distro:
– Ubuntu defaults use Gnome
– Kubuntu defaults use KDE
– Xubuntu defaults use XFCE
Just open Adept or Synaptic package manager, and search for:
ubuntu-desktop or kubuntu-desktop or xubuntu-desktop
Or you can use command line installer:
$ sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop

$ sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop
After finished with installation, do logout and choose KDE/Gnome/Xfce session from Session Menu before relogin.
