Best Answer

A decent portion of the KDE desktop can be installed without installing its applications, although this makes little sense since GTK+ applications don't really look right in KDE. You should be able to do this by using the command

sudo apt-get install kdm kde-base

P.S. The version of KDE in the 8.10 (Intrepid) repository is very old and known to have a lot of bugs fixed in later versions. Unless you have a very good reason not to, you should upgrade to a later relase.

How do you handle the multiple operating system such as vista and ubuntu?

You have to install both operating systems to get a 'dual boot' system. I would suggest installing vista first, then installing ubuntu. Doing it the other way around will mean that the ubuntu installation will not be recognized after you install Vista, so do the Vista install first.The Ubuntu Grub loader will be able to recognize the Vista partition and should present you with a menu when you boot the machine as to which operating system you want to use.The easiest approach to this would be to install Vista on one partition and ubuntu on a different partition of your hard drive.
