Hmmm, do I like the latest Kubuntu? As you know, I installed 7.04

a spare PC yesterday afternoon. I went on a treat and runs reasonable

like is that it is not easy to work out how to actually install new
(other software)
In most versions of Ubuntu the first thing to do in the
package manager is to enable the Universe (&, if wanted,
the multiverse) repositories. After that a lot more packages
will appear for you :)
and when it does there is no indication of it having
done so. I also found that I needed to log out and back in for a
couple of things. I'm not too used to that with Linux. Yes, for
Windows it's the norm' but
Yes, that's quite bad. On the plus side Feisty and Gutsy (7.4
& 7.10) both have KDE4 packages :-) [1]
Anyway, if you want a distro with the convenience of debs, and
none of this re-booting hassle, just install Debian Sid.
You'll never look back ;o)
