Dotan,

1) The link for fixing konqueror:  http://www.kubuntu.org/faq.php

2) You can't make anything with the standard kubuntu, even if you 
apt-get install make, you're still out cold.  Do this instead:  sudo 
apt-get install build-essential

That will install make and several other packages you need to compile 
things.  I really think the compilers should be on the main CD.  I can 
understand space requirements, but I'd rather have the ability to 
compile from source than to have 3 different web browsers, etc.

No matter how much I complain about K/Ubuntu I find myself coming back 
to it.  I have one of the AMD64 chips that is defective (apparently) so 
all the 32 bit Linux distros run too fast.  I gave up trying to fix it 
since it's a 64 bit computer, I shouldn't need to hack to get a 32 bit 
system to work on it.  Out of all the distros that work with true 64 
bit, K/Ubuntu leads the way.
