kubuntu vs ubuntu

[Xurxo Fernandez]

Hi,
I´ve been using kubuntu for a couple of months. It was the 1st time i had tried a linux os. After a failed upgrade to breezy i decided to give ubuntu a try. I´ve been using it for a few days and my impresion is that so far it works better than kubuntu.
Wifi worked almost out of the box. I copied the firmware in the hotplug directories and configured it. Next time i rebooted wifi was working. In kubuntu i have to sudo iwconfig wlan0 and add the channel, wep key and then sudo route add default gw (there is a script to solve that issue though). 
I could also configured anything i wanted through the GUI while in kubuntu the administrator button doesnt work most of the times so i had to sudo kcontrol.
But sincerely, after a few days i have come back to kubuntu because i do like better kde programs. I like kopete and kmail and i love the fact that konqueror could do almost anything, from surfing the web to check out samba shared folders, open pdf, etc. And then there is the eye-candy factor, gnome is plain ugly, almost like going back to win95 (i now you can change themes and stuff, but i´m talking about fresh instalations).
So i´m back with kubuntu, trying to solve my sound problem that would make konqueror crash in websites with sounds and setting up superkaramba last version.
