Mike This "apt-get-install kubuntu" sounds like a great idea, about how much space does the OS take up, after all the updates. I'm assuming it's not that much, that it would make a difference.
I guess what I'm asking is "any downside to this install?" Are there certain updates that are humongous and are really for the expert/developer, that I should avoid? I guess what I'm hearing, via other forums, is that kubuntu is more driver/device friendly? Trying to get a Palm Tungsten PDA to work native. I'm still in the very early stages of REAL Ubuntu usage /w web access. Right now I have Ubuntu, via wireless, on one computer /w a removable drive bay so I can play around. I'm limited in not having cat 5 web access for updates, but now I see I'll have to get that cat 5 installed.
