   sudo apt-get install @lxde-desktop
Is the @ a typo? I have never seen an apt-get incantation like that.


It doesnt work in debian. So who knows...

  # apt-get install @lxde-desktop
  Reading package lists... Done

No, I think it is a group shortcut. As in install all packages in the group lxde-desktop.


Do you mean task? As in a synonym for

  apt-get install task-lxde-desktop
