Installing KDE and Removing Ubuntu (Don't want Kubuntu)

[Ben Kevan]

Ok, 

As much as people say that Kubuntu is Ubuntu w/ KDE.. It ins't. 
I wanted to install Ubuntu and remove Gnome and install KDE.. 

Is there a simple way? I know sudo apt-get install kde kdm (since KDM isn't 
installed within the kde family) but how would I be able to remove Gnome? 
sudo apt-get remove *gnome* would remove alot of things that the kde things 
may have a reference too.. 

Is there a simple way to do this without installing Kubuntu? (if I do sudo 
apt-get install kubuntu-desktop, again how will I remove the Ubuntu stuff)
