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
Herb, when you log in you can select an environment (Windows manager) as
well as a user. Just as you're only able to run one user at a time, you
can only run one environment at a time. On my system, for example, I
use KDE but Gnome and Xfce are both installed. I need only log out,
select Gnome or Xfce and log back in. I did that, in fact, numerous
times when I was deciding what suited me best. It was no contest
really, KDE suits me so that's where I stay.
