KDE will not be installed by default because not all the people running Debian would want KDE. Some would like Kde, some like Gnome, some like xfce and there are plethora of other choices available. In fact some dont even need a Desktop environment or a window manager etc.,The idea is to give you a very 'small', 'basic' system that just works. After that it is up to the user to install the software that he wants.3.Since KDE wasn't installed I searched it in " Synaptic Package Manager " , I got a long list with short descriptions , now I had to understand what to install .... Maybe you should mark somehow the basic/core/main packages in the " Synaptic Package Manager " ?
In any case, installing KDE is as simple as, becoming root and executing the command
