Kubuntu -- but I've left the subject alone for threading reasons :-)

I've got Kubuntu and I like it a lot. It didn't recognise my sound
card which is Creative AWE64 but the Wiki tells you where to get the
sb_awe driver so that's not a big problem.

I am happy not to have a lot of icons; it is not hard to ask KDE to
create the icons you want and you don't get a lot that you don't want.

The only thing wrong is that on shutdown it disables the power switch,
ie I can't use it to turn the machine off and I have to turn it off 
with the little red switch at the back. Weird. How does one program
the power switch? 

Another group I belong to recommends installing Ubuntu and then doing
apt-get install kde-desktop  Anyone any views on that?
