RE KDE: (Geeks be kind to me I am translating this into human)

UNIX itself does not need a graphical environment (like windows) it will run just fine and dandy in terminal mode. Years ago someone created a GUI for UNIX called X. All X does is allow you to put graphical objects to the screen it does not create icons, menues, and the like.

After X was created many people started writing their own systems to put on top of it. These systems have task bars, menus, windows, icons, everything you associate with a graphical desktop. These are called Window Managers or Desktop Environments.

Two such popular environments (there are dozens) are KDE
K Desktop Environment’ and GNOME. These are different environments and some things that will run in wone wont run in another.

To see a comparison of KDE and GNOME you can look here ‘http://www.psychocats.net/essays/kdevsgnome"; It has been my experience there is far more eye candy and widgets out there for KDE

I prefer the more minimalist approach of GNOME, but that’s just me.

Neat!!

Please confirm if I got this right or I'm turned around here --my take is that the "live CD" he was talking about was Kubuntu 7.04, and since I'm running intel I need PC (Intel x86) desktop CD

Then I just burn the ISO and do what the video says.

Another question: there's a 4 gig kubuntu dvd that I can get p2p from this torrent -- kubuntu-7.04-dvd-i38..> 19-Apr-2007 08:27 86K; anybody know what's the other good stuff that comprises the other 3+gigs?
