Interesting when reinstalling the broken (shot by frindly fire) to
fix the Vol Ctl is; I also was given the option to install 'kbuntu,
edubuntu, + couple more desktops.
1. Am I correct in thinking that I can say ... use/install a
different desktop for each of the 3 desktops I have sitting in far R
of bottom pane?
2. Am I safe to try running the diff DeskTop install with Synaptic
while inside the Terminal or should this be done from the CLI?
3. would it also be better to set up a diff user for that diff DT/Xterm?
Either would be neat I could use that ability to advantage I
think. I do use desk two now and then when I get into a long search
like when I had the confirmed 'H attack' I did a ton of reading.
since being in 79th orbit I better watch all my chances close as I
can. lol

If you install the Kubuntu (KDE) desktop along with the Ubuntu
(Gnome) desktop, your menu's In Ubuntu will be populated with both KDE
and Gnome apps. Disabling the KDE apps in Ubuntu may also disable them
(KDE); at least that was my experience in the past. It was quite a mess!
Since Xubuntu uses Gnome on the backend, it's not as much of a mess if
you install the xfce desktop. Edubuntu is Gnome based and should not
be a problem, you'll just get some additional apps, wallpaper and etc.
I find limiting my installation to one desktop is much cleaner and
less confusing.

Thanks Lee glad I asked before running blindly into the dream swamp.
I wonder then If I partition the HD (80 gig) in half and run a seperate
install of Kbuntu that would be a safe non mixer way but then would I
have to reboot the puter to switch or can that be done at the user
level, the later seems unlikely but would be nice and easy.
