kubuntu was my introduction to linux, i have been a windows user for all
my life, some distro chooser test recommended kubuntu for my level of
experience, and i tried it, seeing how i have no clue what a distro is :-P

it's been a year since that day, and thanks to this wonderful list, and
not to forget the nice folks on IRC, i learned about linux in 1 year,
what took me no less than 3 years to learn on windows.

kubuntu so far has never disappointed me with hardware problems, it
simply loves my machine, even development versions starting from alpha
versions (i start using them starting from alpha 3 usually) never did
any serious problems, with the exception of intrepid (KDE is to be
blamed). my only experience with other distros is a SUSE liveCD, that i
think was very nice, and like yast a lot, though i'm sure i haven't ried
all it's powers on a liveCD. and i installed fedora 7 on vmware, and the
install hanged 3 times, and had to re do it before being capable to use
it, i installed GNOME, didn't like the interface, had no idea i could
have installed KDE, with all this frustration, i deleted the VM after
barely using it for a day :-P
