If you are hypercritical about desktop features, there is still a lot of feature regression in KDE-4.1 but it's usable enough for me. As for Kubuntu/Ubuntu...I don't understand the differences but I am using KDE on Ubuntu (wasn't hard to get it all installed after original launch in GNOME) but for now on Ubuntu, I'm only using KDE-3.5.9 Craig --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
