Did you do sudo apt-get install kde and then try the above?

[Deathawk]

No, I did apt-get install kde.

apt-get install kdm

[Deathawk]

xdm or kdm display manager?

(nevermind, i wikipedia'd them and chose KDM.)
The install looked like it worked...
Okay, so I just did the /etc/init.d/kdm/ restart thing and I got
"Stopping K display manager: kdm not running (/var/run/kdm.pid not found).
starting k display manager: kdm."


Some form of live chat would be easier :|

Do the following commands, all seperated by pressing Enter (you probably could have figured that)

su

Enter your root password when prompted, then hit Enter.
Then:

apt-get install x-window-system

...and let it go.

It sounds like you still need to do this.

Did that, got..

"Reading package lists.. done.
Building Dependency Tree...done.
E: couldn't find package x-window"

And from then on it didn;t do anything..

NVM, I'm going to do it again, I had a typo

So I did it correctly, and I get

"Reading package lists.. done.
Building Dependency Tree...done.
x-window-system is already at the newest version
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded."

Did you ever try just to startx?

[Deathawk]

Just did it now, got tons of these errors ;\ nothing changed.

Check this site out:

https://shipit.ubuntu.com/

This is a service created by the Ubuntu community to give out free copies of the latest Ubuntu version (including free shipping); great for those of us that don't have broadband. Also, if you want to play around with another distribution, here's another site that send cds of Fedora Linux for free:

Hope it helps...

So... anything I can do

I'm thinking of just trying Ubuntu... from what everybody says, it's a lot easier, albiet I also hear it's not as good. ;p
