 * 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

 * 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.

XFCE

 * 1. 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. After that log out and log in choosing; Sessions-> XFCE.
 * 3. You can install sidux with XFCE from a CD of course too.


 * 4. XFCE has applications such as:
 * a. Thunar - file manager
 * b. Mousepad - text editor
