What is KDE?
KDE (the K Desktop Environment) is a powerful open source graphical desktop environment for Unix workstations. It combines ease of use, contemporary functionality, and outstanding graphical design with the technological superiority of the Unix operating system.

Installation
There are three options to install KDE in Debian:
How to install |
Description |
|
"KDE Desktop" |
Debian's selection of applications |
|
KDE (Upstream) |
kde package |
The standard/upstream distribution of the KDE desktop environment. |
KDE (core only) |
kde-core package |
This is a minimalist KDE installation |
Watch out recommended packages (i.e packages dependencies) !
(you might or might not want to install them).
For developers:
kde-devel - A full development suite for developing KDE-based applications (removed at meta-kde 5:50).
Installing "KDE Desktop" task
KDE Desktop task is what is installed by Debian-Installer's Desktop "task" (if you typed install desktop=kde at DebianInstaller CD prompt.)
To install KDE later, first make sure that tasksel and aptitude are installed:
apt-get install aptitude tasksel
Then, install the kde-desktop task:
aptitude --without-recommends install ~t^standard$ ~t^desktop$ ~t^kde-desktop$
(This is what DebianInstaller would have installed in a new system, but you might want/need to uninstall the current display manager).
KDE Desktop - Content
FYI,
The "KDE Desktop" task is actually the sum of tasksel's common desktop (desktop) and tasksel's selected desktop (kde-desktop) :
#tasksel -t install kde desktop aptitude -q --without-recommends -o APT::Install-Recommends=no -y install ~t^desktop$ ~t^gkde-desktop$
As of DebianSqueeze, this corresponds to:
(tasksel --task-packages desktop ; tasksel --task-packages kde-desktop) | sort -u
