"Since Kubuntu 9.04 is a Live CD you can run it without installing it to get a taste of it. I installed it as I like to see how long it takes to install and if any snafus come up during the install process.

"I ran into one problem while installing but it had nothing to do with Kubuntu. I had not been keeping track of the space on my disk and VMWare stopped the install because I didn’t have enough space. So I had to restart the install after freeing up some hard disk space. Whoops! I lose track sometimes because I usually have a few distros hanging around plus all of my usual stuff. I wish I had a 100 terabyte hard disk…now that would come in handy doing these reviews for sure!

"After restarting the install, I had no problems getting Kubuntu 9.04 running and I was able to boot into my KDE 4.2 desktop."
