I want to try out kubuntu to see if I like the KDE desktop better than the gnome. One little problem, it wont boot into the live cd. I've tried on 4 computers [including a virtual machine] I re-downloaded the disk, tried x64 0n my 64 bit machine, nothing. I even left it on for 10 hours and it still did nothing. I burned it at the lowest speed that my burner would go. I havent checked the md5 yet, but thats my next step. If not the gnome desktop is still good too.

also you may try
sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop, then select kubuntu under sessions at the log-in screen.

Graphics cards for the candidates I tried it on: Laptop - Ati radeon 3100. Desktop 1 - Intel extreme graphics 800? 8mb integrated Desktop 2 - nVidia MX/MX 400 AGP All had the same problem. I got it from the get kubuntu webpage. I need to boot up my clanky old desktop to check the md5 and I'll post back with that.
