I just booted Kubuntu 8.10 on my Dell XPS laptop and it seemed quite
nice. I'm no fan of KDE but I can see how it might appeal to someone
looking at XP or Vista alternatives. Everything seemed to work on my
hardware and the screen resolution was correctly set. I only had it up
and running for half an hour to poke about.

I keep threatening to switch to KDE for at least one whole development
cycle of Ubuntu - so that's 6 months at least. I'd like to try it out
and see if it could work for me as a standard desktop OS. It would
also give me the opportunity to be able to support Kubuntu users -
which at the moment I can't do because I have very little clue about
KDE.

Sorry to hear you are having problems with Kubuntu Alan, and I hope
you can take time out to diagnose the issues and perhaps file bugs
against the relevant packages, or ask specific questions here so we
can help you get the systems up and running.

Cheers,
Al.
