Hello All

Following Neil's tip I went looking at the Software Sources to see if 
there are any differences.  The Kubuntu Software tabs are identical in 
both PC and laptop.  The Third-Party Software tab are not identical
Both have:
http://archieve.canonical.com/ubuntu jaunty partner
http://archieve.canonical.com/ubuntu jaunty partner (Source Code)
file:/var/cache/apt-build/repository apt-build main
The PC additionally has:
http://deb.opera.com/opera/stable non-free
The Laptop additionally has:
Medibuntu - Ubuntu 9.04 "jaunty jackalope" free non-free

I hope this helps and any further help appreciated

Stephen
