<br>Hmm...interesting. Thanks for the explanation.<br><br>Personally, whenever I install either, I don't like how the devs have "polished" it and put my own effort in and get it how I like...so I guess for me *buntu's attitude isn't great.
<br><br>I wish the artwork and "polish" teams would concentrate on things I really consider polish (like dazzling new artwork) and real polish (the restricted drivers manager is a good "piece" of polish imo) instead of crap like Kubuntu's default Konqueror profiles (which I get rid of ASAP) and System Settings ...
<br><br>OK rant over :P<br><br>-Rashid
