Test Driving Kubuntu 8.04
For all of my love of control and the other great stuff that comes with my usual distro, I also like to try out new things
and see what’s going on elsewhere. To that end I decided to give Kubuntu a go. And I have been pleasantly surprised.
Firstly, the install itself. When you first boot up the build disk you are given several options, the one to use the disk as a live disk is still there, but you can choose to install directly from boot (as with other distros), I chose that and it went very quickly, as you would expect. I won’t go through the steps here as there were only a small number. Kubuntu installs a limited number of apps on first install, leaving you to use them or add to them as you wish.
