Installed Kubuntu

Added KDE today, so now I have Kubuntu as well.

Pretty easy to install after searching on Google.

Just used the command:

sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop

After it had downloaded, I logged out, and logged in to Kubuntu. It will be interesting to check out.

BTW, all my menues are now a mix of Gnome and KDE-applications. I found this easy to clean up (in Ubuntu) via the control-panel.

Created launchers ...

I created a launcher for my "mount disk 2" - command described previously.

Right clicked the Desktop - Create launcher. Chose "Application in terminal", and just inserted the command line "sudo mount /dev/hdb1 /home/adder1972/xdisk" (described previously).

I then pulled the launcher icon to the top panel. Now I have a handy icon to click when I want to mount my second disk in my Home-folder.

When I was at it, I also made two more "command line" launchers, "Update" executing "sudo aptitude update" and "Upgrade" executing "sudo aptitude upgrade".

Add to panel..

I found that you can add several items to your top menu bar/panel by right clicking on it and choosing "Add to panel". You can also add programs/launchers that also are found in e.g. your Applications or Systems pull down menus.

Btw, you can also drag and drop items directly to the panel, and it will stick.
