 UBUNTU vs KUBUNTU, seeking advises. Hello: I am using Fedora 4 and SUSE 10... and more and more SUSE. I have tried the latest (beta) of FC5, and am moderately impressed: I am not talking about the bugs, I am talking about ease of use! I am considering installing UBUNTU but hesitate between UBUNTU and KUBUNTU. I like KDE, which I find usually a better GUI than GNOME, also KDE platform progress faster than GNOME. Would appreciate comments and advises. Also is the XFS file system properly supported under (k)UBUNTU? And last but not least can you have UBUNTU and KUBUNTU with a login option? Thanks. ---      |

Kubuntu and ubuntu are equal. The only difference is the installed desktop. You can get kubuntu from ubuntun, if you install the kubuntu-desktop. XFS should be no problem. What do you mean with login option? |

Personally, I suspect that kubuntu and ubuntu are not yet equal, but they probably will be by the 6-04 release, called Dapper Drake after another character in a series of British children's books. If you can't wait until the end of April. Download the ubuntu iso for i386, amd64, or mac as required. After installing ubuntu, use synaptic to download a package called "kubuntu-desktop" at this point, you can heave Gnome if you so desire, but you will need certain packages, like synaptic (I don't think Adept is ready for prime-time) so you can't get rid of a lot of gnome support libraries. You are not obliged to use Gnome, though because GDM will allow you to choose KDE (or you can replace it with KDM). |

This will certainly give you the choice of logging in with either gnome or kde (you can also install other desktops - xfce, etc.). I've done it this way because I prefer gdm instead of kdm or xdm. |

KDE and Gnome are far from equal IMO. One is not necessarily better though : depends what you want. Since the "desktop" is the GUI to the tools you will use to do a productive job then then things are very different as are the installed applications. On my machine KDE was unstable unfortunately which is unfortunate because I prefer KDE over Gnome from what Ive seen as a general rule. But I put that down to the ATI video driver since Ive heard they are not too hot. -- "A desk is a dangerous place from which to view the world" - LeCarre. |

So run your KDE apps under Gnome and see if your stability issues are still there. -- David |

The comparison was against the [K]Ubuntu > distros. Was it? I thought he was talking about KDE and Gnome. Apologies if there was a misunderstanding. But having said that, I had real trouble with the kubuntu distro install because of issues with the wireless lan GUI interface : had no such issues with the Gnome utility to set up WEP extra which the Ubuntu install defaulted to. > >> One is not necessarily better >> though : depends what you want.

Having said that I havent been switching between sessions as much as I was and have regressed to default video drivers with no HW 3d. -- "A desk is a dangerous place from which to view the world" - LeCarre. |
