I read many other lists and several Linux oriented blogs and forums. IMO what I said was the general view of those users. One common thought though out was "I want something that 'just works' and I don't want to have to hunt and search to fix things that don't". "So that is why I switched from <name_of_ distro_goes_here to (K)Ubuntu." I, myself personally, know of about ten users (is nine and one is leaning) that have (might) switched to Kubuntu from several other reasonably well known distros. No names but you would more than likely recognize the distro names. > 1.

IMO the KDE, in general, provided by KDE oriented distros is 'better' than the KDE provided by GNOME oriented distro. And that is my opinion only. I do not use KDE. However I have seen *great* strides here at Fedora with KDE. Rex Deiter(sp? last name?) and all have done amazing things of late with KDE in Fedora over at the kde-fedora repo. -- David
