[Discuss] Trying Ubuntu

[John Blomfield]

Since joining VLUG I have been interested, as a long time Fedora user, 
in the fact that everyone at VLUG seems to be using Ubuntu so I decided 
to have a look at the beast.  I have loaded it onto a partition on my 
old computer that I use for backup.  It doesn't really matter which 
distro I use here because I only use it to do some basic admin stuff of 
the partitions where I dump my backups from my mission critical 
computers.  I guess I was a little naive but I was surprised to find no 
KDE available!  Am I correct in thinking I have to use a different 
distro i.e. Kbuntu to get KDE or is there some work-around to get it on 
Ubuntu? Unfortunately, unless a distro has KDE and KDevelop its a 
non-starter for me.  I notice however that Ubuntu includes Qt 3 and 4 
and a number of other kxxxxx applications so in principle it should be 
able to handle KDE?
