It now has me thinking about making a switch. Although not until I get a better machine. I'm trying to see much of a low cost system I can put together and the machine I am running Ubuntu on just isn't up to speed (literally). I went with Ubuntu because I'm new to Linux and wanted something fairly easy to set up. I had heard that Kbuntu is more Windows like and since I was starting out with something new I thought I would really experience the difference. I don't mind using Windows. Just wanted to try something new.
