Gnome, KDE, and Xfce are three common desktop-management suites, which each provide various ways to interact with your computer. It would take quite a while to give you specific details about each of these, but you can find descriptions on the internet. Here are some useful web addresses:

They are different "flavors" of Ubuntu.

   1. Ubuntu = original 'buntu' uses GNOME as its desktop environment
   2. Kubuntu = uses KDE as its destkop environment
   3. Xubuntu = uses XFCE4 as its desktop environment
   4. Edubuntu = for schools and institutions, uses GNOME

Can you help with this problem?
