Ubuntu with KDE

I was thinking of trying out Ubuntu a while ago. It’s received excellent reviews from everyone I know who’s tried it and it promises to be a very friendly distribution.

There are two reasons that I didn’t try Ubuntu:

• Ubuntu’s homepage has ugly colors.
• Ubuntu only contains Gnome - not KDE

I’m not one to prefer a Mac just because it’s gorgeous, I need substance too. However, KDE has really hooked me with it’s power and slickness and I can’t give it up.

Luckily, there’s Kubuntu. Following the wonderfully vacuous naming scheme for KDE Kubuntu provides everything that Ubuntu does - but does it with KDE.

As of the time of this article KDE 3.4 is being uploaded to the Kubuntu servers. If somebody tries it out let me know how Kubuntu runs this excellent new release of KDE.
