Sean,

Nice work. A little wordier than how I would write a howto, but in the
same general theme.

Couple of points that you might want to consider:

1. A stronger opening paragraph. Maybe a little who, why what, when
sort of thing?

2. Some inconsistent language choices. Ie. "As a GNOME user you may be
concerned that your favorite GNOME applications will not be able to
run under Kubuntu" contrasted with "all your favorite GNOME
applications will be integrated with your KDE menu system."

3. Command line stuff. This is what we get murdered for over at the
windows forums. We need some general pictures of each app on the menu
that can be reused.

4. GDM vs KDM. Is there a specific reason that the user can't just
keep you using GDM? Is there a specific reason that the user can't
switch to KDM? IMHO, howtos should show the choice that the writers
feel is correct and add notes(not inline) if explanation is needed.

5. The word "package management". Replace with programs for KDE?

6. Tie in Kynaptic para with one above?

7. I really wish there was a better front-end (graphical) to dpkg-reconfigure

Just my thoughts. I am often wrong,

Corey
