Thanks ac for your thoughts.  Really?  Ok well I guess it just seemed
that way from what I read so far.  Some of the update command line
things seemed to be specific to Ubuntu. What about the instructions for
adding software repositories and other things like that?  I don't have
any examples off the top of my head, but there were some things that I
didn't have any idea how to use the example from gnome and apply it to
KDE...

Thanks for your input everybody.
