So true, on Zorin 6.x core 64-bit, I added LXDE and KDE and just select when I log in. I decided to add then when some updates triggered the Zorin Start menu to be hijacked by the Ubuntu Start button. I was going to try Ultimate Linux, but one stick of RAM going bad and a drop down to a slower AMD AM2 CPU, put that on the back burner for awhile. Joan in Reno

I still don't understand why distributions put out Desktop Environment editions though. You can change those anytime you like. The classic way is to simply edit your ~/.xinitrc file. A long time ago Window Managers came with menu options where you could change on the fly. Which was pretty neat, because after you selected a Window Manager off the menu you'd switch, but retain whatever applications you happened to be running at the time. Your X Window session wouldn't even restart. I think that trick was accomplished by making another application the parent process instead of the Window Manager. Now folks seem to think you need to do a new installation to change? The most you should ever have to do in order to switch is start a new X session.
