This may be a silly question but here it goes.
I have been using Ubuntu for 2 years now and love it. After checking out the Kubuntu site I think I wanna give that a shot but have a question.
I know that apps for KDE work in Gnome (Knotes), but is that reversed as well? I did not like amarok at all and perfer Banshee over anything. Will firefox, wine, open office, moovida and other gnome programs work in KDE?
Another note, I have a toshiba laptop with 2gb ram, 1.7 dual core, and integrated Intel video. Will not having a separate video card effect my video performance noticeably? Right now in Gnome running a program like moovida it window will flash only when an effect is in use (i.e. turning the volume up). I've pretty much gotten use to this, but don't want it to get worse if I make the switch.
