Having to kill apps is not normal behaviour in kubuntu. No easy to tell
like that, but it looks like a bug in one kde core component. Didn't
experience such behaviour, but can be a dcop problem.

This is not odd, it just mean only one application can manage
installation at a time. You surely don't want to see your installation
corrupted because 2 differents apps tried to update it simultaneously.
It has never been a problem form me. But again, if you need to kill your
kde apps on a regular basis, this also probably means you need to kill
aptitude from time to time.

Real player is closed source, can't do much about it.

Yes, that's odd. I have installed kubuntu at several places, different
architectures, even on an apple PPC, it works.
(With one exception, where ever i tried, i never managed to get the
configuration tools handle properly wifi cards & WPA encryption, all
those comps where then wired to network)

Rule of thumb in computer:
A problem never come single.
Corollary: All your problem came at same time with a common cause.

Did you ensure that your hardware is not faulty? Last time i saw a linux
system go berserk like that, it was a memory defect.

On the other hand, i am against distro wars, if you find a distro other
than ubuntu that suits your need, there is no reason not to use it :)
