I am not determined to like or dislike Kubuntu, yet.

Just now I am trying to understand it so I can make up my mind.

As in any change, there are good and bad points; I am trying to understand 
better the reasons behind some of those, because this will help me decide if 
I can live with what I'm not used to for now, or not.

I have been toying with Linux since Slackware 2.0, a looong time ago, and I 
started using Mandrake as my only desktop OS some years back, in the days of 
Mdk 6.1, whenever this was.

And I had never before met a /media/ mounting dir; must be a new thing.

So do I.

Thanks, I'll try to do the same.

Cheers,
