Thanks Chris and Andreas!  I upgraded my laptop from Warty (with KDE 
from Sid) to Hoary today, and kubuntu is running well.

Now that our apt-proxy cache is primed with packages from 
hoary/universe, I can do more testing.  Personally, I'd like to have a 
meta-package that mirrors the GNOME install, but with KDE base and 
apps.  A kubuntu-human theme would be nice, too.

I really love the GNOME Ubuntu, but couldn't work very well with it on 
my Inspiron 3800 -- it's limited to 800x600 resolution (blech!).  KDE's 
window manager is a little more flexible allowing me to move/resize 
windows that just didn't fit on screen.  Anyway, it's great to have the 
choice.  Thanks again,
-Liz
