I installed Kubuntu, but if I'd thought it would've provided a better
KDE install, I would have run the Gnome version of Ubuntu, chosen the
minimal "server" install & then installed KDE. I think this would avoid
having both sets of apps.
But I read:
Kubuntu is the first Ubuntu derived distribution. Our Kubuntu CDs
are made up of Ubuntu's base plus KDE. You can get exactly the same
effect by installing Ubuntu and adding the KDE packages from the
Ubuntu archives. <http://www.kubuntu.org/faq.php>
