| 656381 | 2008-04-06 05:21:00 | decided id make the full jump to linux and got kubuntu. few nagging issues. 1) should i be concerned that the adept updater is stuck on "preparing" stage after downloading? and 2) i get random crashes with diferent programs. would it be wise to download a stable version? | aidanmaz (7180) | ||
| 656382 | 2008-04-06 05:26:00 | You might as well wait till 24/4. As it looks like 8.04 will be out then (Thats if it comes out the same time as Ubunutu) | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 656383 | 2008-04-06 05:45:00 | im really undecided on which linux distro to use. Kubuntu is okay but ubuntu seemed better, i want something that doesnt look to "cheap-ish" Kubuntu is pretty good looking. Whats Opensuse like? | aidanmaz (7180) | ||
| 656384 | 2008-04-06 05:48:00 | If your criteria is mainly "Looks Good", Vista is probably a good choice (it certainly isn't "cheap-ish"). ;) |

| 656385 | 2008-04-06 05:48:00 | Never used Opensuse. I've only tried K/Ubuntu 7.10 I've still got the cd's I burned tho |

| 656386 | 2008-04-06 05:57:00 | i have used vista and thought it was a step backwards for M$. when i say cheapish, i mean in looks, like ubuntu (no offense) its gui looks kinda simple and cheap, if u understand what im tryin to say. no offense to anyone of course. | aidanmaz (7180) | ||
| 656387 | 2008-04-06 06:43:00 | If you want to stick with Kubuntu wait and persevere as Speedy says but of course updating could be a problem by the sound of it.Are you aware of the 3 finger trick that is different in KDE 4.0 which I guess is yr desk top.Instead of cntrl-alt delete you cntrl-alt esc and a cross appears then if you clk it clears the page.I found PCLos was a good looking system but of course they have a bit of a delay on updates to the core Ubuntu.The KDE group are flat out working on ironing out the bugs and it should not be too long before it is sorted. | kjaada (253) | ||
| 656388 | 2008-04-06 07:32:00 | I am having a good run with PCLinuxOS after using Fedora/RedHat for years. It is not perfect but it is good - and the KDE desktop is great. Has a live CD to try. | johnd (85) | ||
| 656389 | 2008-04-06 09:01:00 | cheers guys. and no i wasnt aware of the three finger salute for linux......very handy. =] il do some more research. Anything but windows is good for me | aidanmaz (7180) | ||
| 656390 | 2008-04-06 10:09:00 | Mandriva One is a very polished Linux distro, which is based on KDE. It has one of the better looking KDE implementations I've seen.. | Sherman (9181) | ||
