[LUG] Kubuntu 7.10

 

Someone asked opinions on Ubuntu 7.10
I've just installed Kubuntu over a crashed upgrade and had a play so here 
goes:

It is noticeably faster than 7.04. And that beat w2k on the same machine hands 
down. But don't upgrade unless you know how to repair a system!
Its surprisingly easy to use - most things set up sensibly with the minimum of 
fuss.
Most things seem to work out of the box where they should work out of the box 
- one or two things set up too easily - ie they allow defaults that will be 
hard to get round later.
Mostly its a very big thumbs up.
I have one complaint so far - apt-get! If the network drops during download it 
can get a bit screwed and needs manual intervention to get it back working.
The kids of today don't know how lucky they are......
Tom te tom te tom
