"...GeForce card, Belkin USB Wireless, Sony Mavica, everything was recognized at install and drivers offered for them.  Right out of the box, I can play, rip, and record CD and DVD, Flash is present and working."

OK, you convinced me and I got the torrent running.   

I installed and fought with Kubuntu 8.10 KDE 4 for a day (trying to get the file manager to tell me where everything was) and am now looking for something a bit more straight forward.  Am I the only one here ticked off at Dolphin/Konqueror?

I haven’t tried Kubuntu 8.10. I do have an older Kubuntu box with no real problems, other than I think KDE installs too much stuff, and it hates my ATI graphics card.
