About to give up(again) with Linux!

['Forum Post]

just to say i agree with M. Shergold: i've installed Kubuntu from Ubuntu
5.10 (apt-get kubuntu-desktop) and it seems you need the root password
!!!! (not the user password !) to configure some (basic) stuff...like,
haven't the Kubuntu guys even _tried_ their own distro ? (i know you
can set a root password with sudo passwd root but that's ot the point
here, and btw it doesn't fix it)...there are lots of little details
like that which make you wonder :confused: 

(another one, unrelated to ubuntu, but still: i've installed
Gtk-Gnutella from the repoes and the 1st time i start it, the top of
the windows was out of the screen, so i couldn't reach the menu,
couldn't grab it...silly detail, but the programm wasn't usable...i
uninstalled it and went for giFT, although the installer is a
command-line script, and it explains the best interface is gift_ncurse
or something !!! no thx, i've installed Apollon...).

Michael: the Ubuntu 5.10 with gnome is really good, it's only kubuntu
which has problems. you should try the gnome version, that's where the
developpers work most (it seems).
