Did not work right for me. It would not go beyond requesting an Ubuntu
Hardy CD, which I inserted but was not recognised. I did try KDE 4.0 on
my other machine (desktop) and am not impressed. KDE 3.5 is better
IMHO.  I will await another Alpha release or two and upgrade to Intrepid
on this my play machine.

YMMV
