Comments on: ubuntu? http://www.linux.ustka.pl/2010/04/ubuntu-2.asp Tue, 08 Jun 2010 18:42:25 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Dean http://www.linux.ustka.pl/2010/04/ubuntu-2.asp/comment-page-1#comment-29 Dean Wed, 21 Apr 2010 18:39:47 +0000 http://www.linux.ustka.pl/2010/04/ubuntu-2.asp#comment-29 It's safe, yes. BUT If you want to try out the KDE interface (which is the only difference between ubuntu and Kubuntu) then why not install KDE in your current Ubuntu? Then you could boot into Ubuntu, and on the log in screen select either a session to load in GNOME or KDE. It's what I've done with my Ubuntu, saves a new partition and such like. If I'm not mistaken it's in the package manager (system-admin). It should be something like "kubuntu-desktop". Install that along with all its required bits, then reboot when asked. I'd suggest you leave GNOME as your default dm, but it's up to you and it can always be changed later. Then once you're back at the login screen select "choose session" or soemthing along those lines, then stick it in KDE and log in. I prefer gnome myself anyway but it's always good to play around :) It’s safe, yes.

You could also just download the Kubuntu livecd and boot from that to try it out without installing it. You can get a similar effect on ubuntu by installing KDE and kubuntu* packages from the terminal Yes it’s safe.

If you install it correctly, it will keep all your windows data/files. It should be safe. If you install it correctly, it will keep all your windows data/files.
