No Gnome on My System

'If your distribution uses KDE or another window manager by default, you can switch to GNOME by simply logging off. When the login screen appears, select Session and then GNOME; then, log in as normal. You'll get the default GNOME screen, just like other Linux users.'

I just installed Kbuntu 7.10 on my system and there is no Gnome listed when I log out. My choices are Default,KDE, or Failsafe. I would like to try Gnome and Enlightenment but I can't seem to find them.
