[Trisquel-users] MATE Desktop by Default in Trisquel 7.0

[0d54770d]

Hello, I was wondering if it were possible to install MATE as the default  
desktop in Trisquel, using the text installer, or some other means. I prefer  
MATE to GNOME 3, but I would rather not have two DEs on my computer if I can  
avoid it.

I tried doing this by not installing a desktop enviroment at all during the  
text install, and then installing MATE by PPA through just the shell, but  
when I booted up the computer, and tried to add the MATE PPA, it told me that  
the package "apt-get" wasn't found, so I wasn't sure what to do.
