Cool, that rocks you figured it out on your own. That is the best way.

So you were on the right track, good deal.

Well, you will run into some old schoolers who will tell you to "RTFM" in a 
heartbeat. I understand why they do it, but not everyone does. RTFM allows 
you to teach yourself, which is good. You are lucky to have quick responses, 
and that has been the nature of the mailing lists around here. Well, I guess 
a Welcome is in order.

One thing I would recommend, is try to keep as much patience as possible. You 
are going to have difficult times, and easy times. There are times where you 
run into an issue that may take hours, days, or even weeks to fix, and this 
will wear your patience thin.

Good luck with your Kubuntu future, and we are glad to have you on-board! Take 
care.
