For kde, you'll need to install the "kubuntu-desktop" package. You can
do this through the graphical package manager (Synaptic), or via the
command line:
sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
It will automatically download everything it needs and set up the
environment. It "might" ask you at one point if you want to use "GDM"
or "KDM". If you don't know the difference, just select to default.
When that is all done, you have one final step - on the login screen
you'll need to indicate that you want the kde desktop - this is under
"options -> settings" (I think that's right). And when you do this
then try to login you should be asked if you want this to be a permanent
choice, or a "this time only" choice.
If you really want the KDE desktop for your system, you might consider
installing Kubuntu next time instead - it is Ubuntu with the KDE
environment. Whereas Xubuntu is Ubuntu with the XFCE environment.
Under the hood, both are still "Ubuntu". But there are times when it
might be better to do things the way you have - there is always more
than one way to do something.
Welcome to the Linux Desktop!!! :)

Quick question guys/gals
I loaded xubuntu on mp pc and am wondering how I get to my c drive that
has
windows formatted in fat 32?? There are some files that I want to move
back
and forth. Also, how do I get the I believe KDE Desktop style on the
xubuntu?? I think I named it right.
It may have create a link in '/media/sda<x>' or alternatively you can
manually mount it:
sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda<x> /media/cdrom
I use /dev/cdrom as I'm too lazy to make a new directory. Add a line to
/etc/fstab to make it happen every boot.
Changes to GUI style are all under 'setting manager'.
Cheer,
Simon.
