Hi, i began with Ubuntu installation. It has gnome.

So now is my quesiton, how do i delete the Gnome so i can continue with KDE?

Re: Removing Gnome

You can do this surgically, or commit mass-uninstallation.

First open a terminal and see what is installed on your system:

$ dpkg -l | grep gnome | less

If the list is bigger than your screen, navigate up and down with the Page up/Page down keys. Hit Q to exit.

Take a good look, and if there is nothing you want to keep, remove the whole works this way:

$ sudo apt-get remove --purge gnome*

The --purge option deletes config files, and gnome* means "every package with gnome in the name." You'll get another chance to make sure you want to do this, it won't go until you hit Y. On my Kubuntu system it would free up 145 megabytes of disk space.

If there are any Gnome apps you want to keep, you'll be stuck with around 100 megabytes of dependencies.
