ubuntu has distros/spins for different DE, just google for the url.

xfce = xubuntu
gnome - ubuntu gnome
kde = kubuntu
mate = ubuntu mate
unity = default ubuntu
e18 or cinnamon can be installed via ppa's
Most of my labs tend to be on Ubuntu, it seems very user friendly, but i really dont know the difference between the different "spins". This has been the most linux action ive seen (the past 2 yrs back in school). I appreciate all the advice. Thanks!
