You will probably want to read this section in particular: http://doc.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/desktopguide/C/add-applications.html KDE is just a desktop environment that Kubuntu is based on. The Kubuntu people have written their own package/application installation/management system that is completely separate from KDE. You will find that each distribution uses a different package manager. Hope this helps, Marek Wawrzyczny ___________________________________________________ This message is from the kde mailing list.
