I absolutely agree with you about the initial switch to KDE that kubuntu, as well as a number of other distros, did and if you went to Aaron Seigo's talk at ableconf a year and a half ago you would have heard his spit a lot of venom at a lot of the distros for adopting KDE4 as their primary KDE

I didn't mean to imply the RPM system is bad. However, the packages that SUSE has built, regardless of what delivery system they use, are crap! When I installed 11.1 a while back and out of the box it would not update. Two weeks later I found some forum comment about having to manually edit some f

You know, desktop design isn't really the main choice factor of Linux. Choice at installation (and later) is a wonderful thing. Of course it almost always boils down to a balancing act between ease of use and usability... Which in it's own wording seems paradoxical. ( :) ) -Dan Sent from my

In your situation I would stick with Ubuntu, but only use say of the hard disk for the install. Then load virtualbox to play with several other distros like Mint (my current), decide if you like any of them more than Ubuntu, and then install that one onto the free space you left open. Or if you do
