CDE Installation Guide For Ubuntu 15.10 Version History: Version 1.0 – 2016-03-31 by Patrick Massey This is a brief guide to building and install the Common Desktop Environment (CDE) on Ubuntu 15.10 (I would imagine that the same steps will apply to 16.04 LTS, but that is not out yet for me to test as of this writing). We also have to build and install libXp since it is no longer included in the Debian or Ubuntu repositories.
