[CoLoCo] Kubuntu?

[Brett Trigg]

I guess that's what I love about Ubuntu (and Linux in general).  You
like digiKam over F-Spot, but want to run gnome?  No sweat.  Go grab it.

The ability to pick and choose the apps I want to run because I prefer
them is the whole point.

My system.  My way.  Ubuntu.
