I don't think we're supposed to help you with homework.

P.S. nano and vi are different

You might just be able to launch gnome-session and whatever kde's equivalent is.

I think that is "startkde".

Spoon is correct, YOU are supposed to figure out your own homework.
In FACT this is a PLE which accounts for 25% of your final grade. The reason I know this is because I am prolly one of your instructors! Yes we ACTIVELY monitor these and other forums :) Good luck on your exams .....

Uh-oh. :)

Now we know where the linux users get grammar, punctuation and spelling from! :)

this is the best post i have ever seen.:D
