I quite fancy trying Kubuntu 9.04 out. KDE 4.2.2 looks really good.<br>
<font color="#888888"></font><br></blockquote></div><br>I've been using Ubuntu for some years now on my home desktop, having tried:<br>
- RedHat (when it was just called that, 5.2 I think)<br>
- Debian (stable, testing, unstable & experimental - probably in that order as my desire for bleeding edge increased)<br>
- Gentoo (when I wanted to go beyond the bleeding edge)<br>
<br>
I've not tried Mandriva or Fedora or any other flavour you wish to choose.<br>
<br>
I used to be really obsessed with the little changes in each new
release of each application or DE or whatever. Now, having got married
and started spending a lot less time in front of a screen (at home at
least), I don't follow such things quite so closely. As for KDE 4.2.2 -
I can't really tell the difference between the version I used about 8
years ago and now, apart from some stuff is rounded and a bit
see-through. <br>
<br>
However, I have to confess, I do still get a glimmer of excitement when
a new release of Ubuntu is coming up and probably install it, unwisely, within a few hours of its release. Once or twice I've had to go back and reinstall it because I went for it too soon...<br><br>And my wife... well, she still asks how she can load up Word on the computer... even though it was a PowerPoint file she wanted to open. I think she meant Windows... but I can't read her mind, no matter how much she expects me to ;)<br>
<br>So here's to breaking stuff in the 8.10 -> 9.04 upgrade! :D<br><br>Alex<br>
