This is IMHO and other people might see it different!

For me there is no differences in installing KDE on a (GNOME) Ubuntu
system. Or installing GNOME on a (KDE) Kubuntu System. You can
configure both systems to behave the same way. (By using
update-alternatives.) You can even change a Ubutu server installatiob
to a Kubuntu/Xubuntu and so on system. And vice versa. You only need
to know which packages you need to install or deinstall. (Freedom of
choice ;-).)

Good explanation John.

Also, you do not need to install all of KDE on Gnome or vice versa if
all you want are a few apps. Without wishing to start a flame war, I do
not like the KDE desktop but need some KDE apps, eg Amarok. Synaptic (or
apt-get or aptitude) will take care of the dependencies if you wish to
install a KDE app on Gnome or a Gnome app on KDE. But be aware that in
some cases there may be performance issues and, rarely, breakages.

You may also need to manually configure preferred applications.
