Kubuntu 9.04

Patrick20

I got a Live CD of Kubuntu 9.04 through the letterbox today. I booted the cd in my laptop and it was very nice. Easy to use, all the hardware worked, the desktop looked snazzy, it was an enjoyable experience.

I've tried earlier versions of ubuntu and kubuntu and this I could use on a regular basis. I reccomend it to anyone without an OS.

And they can get this advice how?

Good advice.

People without an overwhelming reason to run Windows (such as needing to run recent Windows games) would do well to investigate the alternatives.

Agreed. I wont be swaping it for vista on my lappy but it might work nicely on my desktop, and i might try installing on my ps3.

Tongue in Cheek, as indicated by the . Just seems a little funny, like giving instructions on how to troubleshoot a broken internet connection on the internet.

There's no need to swap. I have Ubuntu 9.04 installed via Wubi on a Vista laptop - it can be uninstalled just like any other Windows application, if no longer required.

Most of the *buntu variants/desktop environments can be installed with Wubi.

if you do, make sure you get the powerpc version for the ps3 as a normal x86/32bit version will not work

I really like it but installing both is a bit pointlessisnt it? Anything I can do on Ubuntu I can on Vista. they both do the same job so if i install both it would be for tinkering about.
