I have not liked how unstable Kubuntu is and that is why I moved over to 
Ubuntu using Gnome even though I like KDE better. I have grown to like 
Gnome better, even though not as much as KDE.

With Ubuntu 9.10 I have had no problems.  An easy install on both 
machines I have (Dell Mini 9, and Dell Inspiron 1525).  Everything 
worked out of the box on both machines and I am loving 9.10.

I must admit that I have been tempted to switch over to Debian and Try 
KDE on there, but I gave Debian a try just recently and I had some 
serious problems.  Stable had WAY to old of software for me.  With 
Testing not recommended by the Debian FAQ I tried out unstable.  I 
really liked how it had the most current software, but it was really to 
unstable for me.  I am willing to live with the odd bug now and then, 
but not with a system that does not work.

Testing seems like a great medium.  It still haves software that is 
nicely current and it seemed stable enough for me, but I really did not 
like the warning in the FAQ.  It said that every now and then a show 
stopper bug will make it into testing and it could take weeks, and maybe 
even months to make its way down to testing from unstable.  I cannot 
have my computer go out for weeks and there are still some problems in 
Linux I can not fix myself.  Maybe again in the future I will try our 
KDE in Testing, but I don't know.
