“For starters, there was nothing in it that you
couldn’t get anywhere else, virtually no polish, and Wi-Fi
was completely broken right out of the box and hasn’t been
fixed (aside from manually installing third party wireless tools)
to this very day. In that regard, there is a great deal riding on
Kubuntu’s shoulders this time around. So, does Kubuntu 9.10
make up for the failures of the previous iteration? For the most
part, no.

“The Good
First and foremost, KDE 4.3 makes its official debut in Kubuntu
9.10. This is huge, because KDE 4.3 is the first version of the KDE
4.x series that’s ready for primetime. Although it
isn’t perfect, it features beautiful artwork and is generally
faster and more responsive. In addition, there are a ton of new
features in KDE 4.3, and Kubuntu 9.10 includes all of those
features naturally by including it as the default desktop.”
