Some suggested that the flavors <br>should be somehow lined up to have a kind of similarish look. Though, these ideas are still <br>blurry but the kubuntu people have already declared that they will follow their own path, <br>independent of the ubuntu direction.</font> <font size="3"><a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KubuntuArtworkParadigm/">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KubuntuArtworkParadigm/</a></font> <font size="3">I've also argued that making the distros kind of similar would deprive them from developing <br>their own identity that ultimately would result boredom. I agree very much with the kubuntu <br>guys that the ubuntu, kubuntu and xubuntu have to develop independently, which doesn't mean <br>that certain underlying ideas shouldn't be aligned. Distinctness would have beneficial effects <br>by offering diversity and multiple looks for users. <br>So far I got positive feedback; I wonder what you guys think.</font> <font size="3">J.
