This is something that I've noticed aswell.  I guess its part and
parcel of being the little sister but I find the lack of *k*ubuntu
material on the net extremely annoying.  I keep being tempted to
switch to ubuntu just for what feels like the extra support.

But from everything I've experienced so far it just seems KDE fits my
style far better.  (Only started using Linux properly with 6.06).
