Alternatives to Kubuntu, was Re: KDE 4.0.0!

[Girard Henri]

I play with bleeding edge :)
After trying few distros I got back to kubuntu as it is the quickest 
installed :)
For 64 bits it's the only one which works on my acer aspire
though i like fedora or mandriva but I got few problems with them...
keyboard on mandriva 32bits is funy in french
On fedora i can't get my ethernet card working ...
i rarely keep a distro for more than 3 months :)
I often crash them ! lol
