fair nuff they're great a kde-based one. I mean im not against KDE
cos' at end of day its about geting people on GNU/Linux that matters,
at the moment KDE is more windows like (whether good or bad thing up to
you to decide) and so if they want to create Kubuntu that up them and im
guess if either desktop dont delay development time that ok. I mean
maybe in the future i may install KDE as another WM but not at the
moment cos' i do like GNOME but if they sort some of the KDE issues and
make it slick that be good. I just PERSONALLY prefer GNOME like some
like KDE its about freedom and choice that the whole point of Linux.
ubuntu is a great distro and i guess if people want to experience the
power of a Debian distro with their fav deskop that fine. No doupt
these 2 will be 2 seperate cds and prob one day a dvd with both WM
on.... But this debate will never end. The fact is Linux is about
choice and freedom. And we shouldnt be fighting here, maybe Ubuntu will
carry  on showing the Linux world how a distro is meant to be and in
development wise making a KDE version will win a lot of Linux users
over to a fab distro and also pull some Windows users in :) And maybe
hoping in the future that even Ubuntu will even rival against the "big
boys" of the Linux world.... so go for it guys and gals!

So yeh i admit strategy wise making a KDE-base Ubuntu is a great idea
it will give Ubuntu the boost it deserves....
