I think the guide @ *ubuntuguide.org explains it well.
as for installing kde,go to menu System>admin>SYnaptic pkg manager and install Ubuntu-kde.
1.I uses xine-ui and gmplayer
2.Azureus,deluge,bittornado...
3.exaile,amarok(kde)
4.hv to search for dat
5.I uses cron for doing that read 'man 5 crontab'
6.Anjuta,Eclipse all GUI tools..

Either get Kubuntu alternate cd or add Kubuntu repos. Then select the package kubuntu-desktop to get KDE
