What exactly is the difference between Ubuntu with KDE
(which I am running now) and Kubuntu?

I've tried SuSE in the past.
It struck me as like Fedora, but not so good.

I've thought about Knoppix, which seems to run KDE by default,
but I've never worked out how one gets it on the hard disk.

I wish they would fire the guy(s) who run Anaconda under Fedora,
and get Mr Knopper to set up the loader instead.
One of the troubles with Linux is that nothing ever gets thrown out,
eg the unbelievably bad Disk Druid under Fedora,
which makes fdisk seem like a masterpiece.
