    Does it not boot at all or do you get a black screen after the initial menu? If the latter is the case adding the 'nomodeset' bootoption might work. Well it never hurts to burn another iso just to make sure.

    No problem,2nd iso worked.
    I am posting this with konquerer,means install worked fine.
    Only thing I did not like that there was no option on "manual" to
    not install grub,since I had a few buntus already on this disc.

    Well....what should I say after 5 minutes....strange new world.
    Surprised that there is no firefox by default....will suck all updates,then
    install firefox.Yeah,and one thing I already miss:
    Synaptic.
    Is there anything against installing it?


    Edit:
    just realise that rekonq seems to be pretty snappy....

    No, I don't like KDE's KPackageKit myself so use synaptic as well..

    Kubuntu 11.04 should be fine. It doesn't have the new KDE 4.7, but it really isn't all that different from 4.6.

    openSUSE probably has a nicer KDE implementation than Kubuntu, but I still prefer the Ubuntu base over openSUSE... and Kubuntu gets better with each release.
    Do you folks like coffee?

    You can get whatever font you want with opensuse, but I agree that the default ones are not very pretty.

    Muon is a nice package manager for kde.

    Setting this thread as solved,because I decided to install Kubuntu on it's own and already have done this.
    After messing with unity/gnome shell a few weeks I now enjoy configuring a Desktop which doesn't treat me as I where...CENSORED
    After adding 2nd panel to the top,installing synaptic,firefox,compiz,backports,proposed and
    kicking kde stuff I will never need I already feel at home.
    Think I can live with this when 10.04 reached EOL and gnome 2.x is history.

    Thanks to all for the input in this thread,feel free to add more,will not un-subsribe.
    Have fun!

    Muon comes closest to Synaptic (in case you are still looking for a KDE-alternative) I'd say but I'm not a KDE expert, just ran Kubuntu for a few months. edit: Never mind, Muon was already mentioned.
