I have Kubuntu on my computer (which has a bios dated 1999). I’m no geek because I don’t know linux at all. I do know that Ubuntu with a KDE desktop has allowed me to get away from Microsoft’s constant prying, snooping, updating, etc. I’ll never spend money on Vista, any more than I’ll ever choose to buy a Macintosh.

I love Kubuntu also. The only problem I've had with it is the wireless Ethernet thing, which is a serious pain in the rear.

Once the newer kernel is released and wireless works as easily as it does in Windows, I'm not going to be using Windows on my laptop any more, except for Windows C++ development.

Wishful thinking at best, Linux's legendary problems with wireless connections aren't kernel related, they're driver related, which hasn't gotten much better in several years.

I haven't found wireless to be a big pain on my SuSE10.x laptop. But I do have to use NDISWrapper because I've been too cheap to go out and get a kernel supported card. Broadcom (Linksys) does not yet support Linux, hence the NDISWrapper.

Knetworkmanager manages all my AP's just fine, and the WPA encryption.
