My trip through Linuxland

Removing KDE

Note:

This applies to all Debian based systems.This will REMOVE KDE, and all packages that are dependent on it.USE THIS COMMAND ON YOUR OWN RISK!!!

Here we go :
su
Password:
apt-get remove ksysgardd koffice* kde* kivio-data

If you get a error message like E: Couldn’t find package XXXX just remove that from the command and run it again.
If you haven’t already, you should install another window-manager, there are several to choose from but use apt-cache search XXXX to find your wm of choice.
I’ll give you an example on how to install Ion3:

apt-get install ion3

And you probably want to use the ion3 scripts for stuff like weather, RSS and etc.If so do this:

apt-get install ion3-scripts

Now what you may say….well restart X and choose ion3 as session….. but if you’re wondering how to configure ion3 thats another matter….maybe I’ll make a note here on that too.But if you don’t like the command-line or keyboard you should maybe go for something like XFCE4.Use apt-cache search XXXX to find it.
Good luck!

PS:Haven’t seen ion3 before……here is my setup:
