Installing XWindows/KDE on Debian
For the initial installation of Debian, I simply do a 'standard' install. No desktop.
I may also add database (which is PostgreSQL 8.1), dns, and web server (which is Apache
2.0).
After the reboot, I'll install some basic packages to get KDE running:
apt-get install xserver-xorg-core
apt-get install x-window-system
apt-get install xserver-xfree86
apt-get install xserver-xorg
apt-get install x-window-system-core
apt-get install kde-core
Running the command 'startx &' will get XWindows going and the KDE personalizer started.
Putting 'startkde' in .xinitrc in my home directory sets the preference for kde. Other
possible window managers include gnome, xfce4, icewm, fluxbox, fvwm (loosely ordered by
decreasing
order of preference).
