Kubuntu Adivce
« on: May 11, 2011, 02:43:00 PM »
Three quick questions......
 
1)  Does anyone use this,  what are the pros and cons over ubuntu
2) Is anyone using the latest 11.04 Version.
3) Has anyone tried the PPC version on Mac, any issues to be aware of ?  Ubuntu seems to work fine on Mac, but any firsthand experience of Kubuntu would be good.
 
Thanks

No as I have used ubuntu.  I am asking about the Kubuntu dist versus the plain ubuntu dist as they seem a bit different.
 
Specfically the latest version and running the PPC version on a Mac mini.

Thought that was pretty clear to be honest

I Don't really know the difference between KDE And Gnome , as I understand it there are just different desktops running on top of the linux kernerl ??
 
I have used ubuntu quite a lot on different machines.  However I managed to mess up the install on my laptop and it wouldnt boot.
 
I also updated to 11.04 at it froze at the end and left me with a non booting linux install.
 
I originally went for Ubuntu because I was led to believe it was the easiest and most user friendly version.
 
Have the other distros caught up.
 
Is red hat, yellow dog etc as easy to install, update and add appliactions etc, as windows ?

The OP doesn't really care about KDE or Gnome.  I have only used ubuntu really.
 
I was just asking about Kubuntu as I had seen somone talking about it?
 
It seems that most people would say go Yellow dog for my morphos/linux dual boot.
 
While I am am here, awhile ago I tried the 64bit version of ubuntu and it was flakey at best.  Are there any good 64bit dists for X64 and is there any point ?

To be fair 11.04 is not LTS
