It hasn't been good for me and it is making me reconsider my distro.
Flash in firefox or konqueror does not work for me and several sites either
crash firefox or the flash just does not work in konqueror. Then there is the
completely anal .hidden file in the root directory that stops you browsing
anything apart from media and your own home directory. If you install and app
from a tar.gz for instance you can't create and icon on the desktop by
browsing for the executable, what genius in the developement team came up
with that stupid idea. Up until now kubuntu has been a good straight foreward
distro but this sort of customisation is not good for kubuntu or for linux in
general. Note I have been using linux for 6 years or more and for the last 4
have not had windows on this computer at all, so I am definitely no newbie. I
know I can delete the .hidden file but having to do this to make the distro
work properly is a large jump backwards for that distro.
David who unless he can figure out how to fix flash will be going back to
debian or Fedora
