“Last week I looked at Ubuntu Linux 10.04 and found it
to be a delightful surprise. This week I thought it would be fun to
look at the KDE version, Kubuntu 10.04.“Alas, I was not nearly as pleased with Kubuntu as I was with
Ubuntu. While there have definitely been some improvements in
Kubuntu 10.04, it lacks some of the important things that defined
Ubuntu 10.04.“Read on to find out why you should avoid Kubuntu Linux 10.04
LTS.“What’s New In This Release
“Here’s a list of some of what’s new in this release:
“The Kubuntu logo has been updated on the splash screen and in
the desktop menusKDE Plasma Desktop 4.4
Linux kernel 2.6.32
Amarok 2.3
Installer slideshow
Touchpad configuration
Firefox KDE integration
System notification updates
Gnome application system tray integration“The updated Kubuntu logo is fine but seems to only appear on
the bootsplash screen and the desktop menus. Beyond that there is
no other branding to indicate that Canonical is behind the release
of this distro.”
