  2. Good answers here, but when installing you'll be asked a question in a terminal about choosing between lightdm and kdm. Either works well and lightdm should be selected by default, just press [ENTER}.

    Reboot/logout, and when you go to login again, you'll see a "gear" icon next to your password window. Click it and select KDE, now enter your password.

    This option will be remembered until you decide to change.
