Ventures in upgrading (k)Ubuntu: Fix DVD Playback and Locale Issues in (k)Ubuntu 8.04
http://www.mutaku.com –
We have been using kUbuntu for about 3 years now and have always been slow to upgrade to newer versions, fearing the impending bug, broken configuration with hardware, or grub issues. So when 8.04 rolled out, having been using a 'fairly' stable 7.10, we were quite hesitant to change.

Kubuntu 8.10 'Intrepid Ibex' Beta Screenshots Tour
http://tuxarena.blogspot.com –
I took these screenshots using a Kubuntu Intrepid Beta installation after performing a full dist-upgrade, at 1280x1024, with the nVIDIA 173 driver installed. I left all the settings in applications default, but I had to make fonts smaller and resize windows (in Konqueror for example), because they didn't look very well as default. The default theme used is Oxygen.

10 billion flies and no Kubuntu
http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com –
Since the drought broke last year, it’s mostly been too rainy and cloudy for the modest solar installation to keep my laptop charged, so, more of my evenings have been spent drinking plonk with a neighbour, from further down the track, than mastering the command line and working towards my LPI certification as I’d planned to do.

Will The Canoniclique Finally Listen To Kubuntu?
http://menpro.blogspot.com –
One of my first tasks on Brainstorm was to query for "KDE" and "Kubuntu" ideas, but I found only one: Idea #478 - Support kubuntu and kde the way you support ubuntu and gnome. Fine. It's about as well-expressed an idea as I could have hoped for, and a good candidate for merging the duplicate questions into. But what's been interesting is watching the early resistance from GNOME users, not so much in the comments, but in the bouncing score.

Ubuntu vs. PCLinuxOS: a new winner?
http://koplowicz.com –
I’ve been using Ubuntu (or a derivative) for two years now. But then I noticed the new cool kid: PCLinuxOS. It naturally runs KDE, as opposed to being a derivative like Kubuntu. But then I started to notice PCLOS falls short in some areas where Kubuntu shines. So how does it all break down?
