KDE 4 and Kubuntu?

[Joshua Zeidner]

  Buying from these small dealers can be a total nightmare.  I took a look
at their return policy:

  "If you get it and decide that it's just too different from Windows or Mac
for your liking (or for any reason) feel free to return it within 30 days
for a refund. Note that there is a 15% restocking fee on all returns."
