Until this is done, what is wrong with using Kubuntu 8.04.2?
   "This update is provided in recognition that the current
Kubuntu release (8.10) with its cutting edge KDE 4 desktop is not yet
appropriate for all users."

I seem to remember that there wasn't that much new in Intrepid: no new
Firefox an no new OpenOffice.org.

Is there anything missing from Hardy that you need?
