Ubuntu vs Kubuntu

[wolfen69]

I would go with Ubuntu because it runs GNOME. KDE is not a DE I like very much. Also, KDE is too flashy. GNOME is not

i agree. kde has too many menus and submenus. K.I.S.S. plus, the whole "K" thing kind of gets on my nerves. it reminds me of Apples' "I" campaign.

For my 2 pennies worth, KDE is more interesting than Gnome - Gnome just seems a bit dumb and a bit dull. As for the number of menus - I have one, with sections for graphics, internet etc - not actually very complicated and it's a bog standard install.

Anyway, it's all opinion and this debate will go on longer than time itself.

when the day comes when i start sitting around admiring my menus and icons, i'll be sure and use kde.

And the day I start making comments like that about other people's opinions is the day I give up speaking - coz I'll have nothing useful to say.

As I said:

I use ubuntu because I like gnome much more than kde

GNOME is what I use right now, but some how KDE keeps me interested all the time. With the preview of KDE4, the urge is more than ever.

Don't these two kinda contradict each other, if yo care about how a menu looks quote 2 is invalid, otherwise quote 1 is.

But 5 minutes in KMenuEdit can make the menu as good as you want it so none of that matters really. I live having a section for each group (Graphics, internet, Multimedia) so I suppose by that logic I must sit staring at my menu all day

No offense to anybody but Kubuntu is the slowest distro I've ever tried!
I don't think it integrates KDE all that great either. I find that running KDE is much faster if I just install it like this:

Sudo apt-get install kdm kde-core

Agreed, it's the fastest though if you install it like this:

sudo emerge -av kdebase-startkde

Ubuntu, because I had only heard of it. When I found out about Kubuntu and tried, well, I realized that I cannot stand KDE.
