Sidux/Useable applications/Graphic environments

pl:Sidux_-_czyli_Debian_sid_krok_po_kroku_dla_każdego/Programy_użytkowe/Środowiska_graficzne Writing the book I was working on XFCE graphic environment which is one of two supported by sidux developers, the second one is KDE. But sidux is in 100 % compatible with Debian so I can't see any reason to not try others environments. KDE thumb|right|Screenshot of KDE4 desktop environment thumb|right|Screenshot of KDE4 desktop environment KDE contains applications such as: a. Konquror - web browser b. Dophin - file manager c. K3b - CD/DVD burning studio d. Digikam - graphics files organizer and editor; supports digital cameras as well e. KMail - e-mail client f. Kopete - multi-messenger g. Amarok - audio player h. Kaffeine - video player i. KTorrent - BitTorrent client You can install KDE in two different ways: 1. Download sidux LiveCD "Lite" or "Full" version from project side: http://sidux.com/module-mirrors.html and make new installation from beginning. 2. Or install it with existing environment "Lite" version: apt-get install kdelite or "Full" version: apt-get install kde-full 3. Next re-boot your system and choose on screenspash: Sesssion-> KDE. 4. You can set KDE as primary environment or run it for one session only.

If have you been installed sidux with KDE before and want to install XFCE as a second one: apt-get install xfce4 thunar-archive-plugin xfce4-mixer xfprint4 orage xfce4-terminal desktop-base xscreensaver xfwm4-themes 2.
