New Not a good choice for a desktop user
Given that Ubuntu exists, that is.

New Gnome VS KDE thing
KDE is a second class citizen on Ubunto.
I like KDE.
I'm happy supporting a KDE environment.
Kubunto doesn't "mesh" in my mind, ie: the wonders of Ubunto seems to not gel in KDE, giving a lot of promise but wierd discrepencies.
Note: All of this is based on my Kubunto experience about a year ago.

Imric's Tips for Living
  • Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
  • Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
  • Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.


Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.

New MEPIS is based on Ubuntu now, but still uses KDE.
It should be among the best of both worlds.

Cheers,
Scott.
