Kubuntu problems

thankies mega, i do realize that you will probably be one of the last truly knowledgeable PC users, so, i want to learn as much as possible from people like you, so i can be more helpful in the future, & as Wiki doesn't provide truly correct info, however, it does provide info that is easily editable to make it fairly easy to make accurate posts using Wiki as a source

sh1t, i've just realized the importance of true info & i don't feel i'm up to the task, however, i will try (brain damage included) to provide as much correct info as possible

BTW: i will be relying on my bookmarks (foxmark updated) & Wiki

if you can, if you wake up dead one morning can you pwease PM mepersonally i would prefer to fully understand what i may be advising people on in the future, but, i don't think that will be possible


i'm downloading Ubuntu 7.10 now, although, i'll probably run it as a VM to try it

However something in the last week has changed my way of thinking about what a Linux operating system should be about. The other day I installed Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon in a VM at work and I absolutely LOVED it!! Yes I am refering to Ubuntu, not Kubuntu! Ubuntu and GNOME are so polished and integrated in such a way that it is perfection. The GNOME desktop is lovely. There I have said it!! Ubuntu 7.10 is an excellent distro in terms of it's simplicity and ease of use, but at the same time it gives you the ability to tweak a little further if thats what you like! Compiz integrates beautifully, the brown theme is attractive (in my opinion) and the desktop gives a general feel of professionalism. My opinion about Kubuntu now is of somebody just lumping KDE onto Ubuntu and not given a second thought about it! Kubuntu is so far behind Ubuntu that it's a disgrace to associate it with Ubuntu!

In the new year I will remove openSUSE and crown Ubuntu 8.04 LTS as my main desktop. The LTS will ensure a stable release which I can enjoy until the next LTS release. Sure I will miss the KDE applications, especially Amarok and Kaffiene, but the integration and polish of Ubuntu GNOME is such that I can't resist it any longer!
