Nobody explained to me either, I found when I visited the menus.
(and I'm not quite a young teenager such as the very good young geeks,
but sort of an old newbie) But I'll try to take a few minutes, later
in the evening, to go look inside Synaptic, to search where I found 
that. Otherwise, try to be confident in yourself, and your abilities.
Write on a paper all you do and change, untill you feel at ease, and
that's it :)

If you allready know the packages, it's not a problem in the console.
If you talk about light programs, well, both Gnome and Kde belong
to the heavy weights. Under Debian Sarge, I used Xfce, but with 
Konqueror to browse my files. Other: Fluxbox, Ion, Window Maker...
maybe some more that I'm not aware about.
Kpackage: I don't know it, so I can't talk about it or compare in any way.
