I like KUBUNTU - Windows XP Pro dual boot. It covers everything I need. I am spending more and more time on the Linux side and enjoying it. The article has good things to say about KUBUNTU and I agree. Here is the article about
KUBUNTU.
I had trouble setting up the dual boot until I found this command in KUBUNTU.
sudo update-grub
That did the trick and also adds the option for a memory test and more.

I do like KDE better than Gnome. I have never been able to like Gnome--even from the very beginning.
However, a few years ago, I switched to XFCE. I like it much better than KDE. It just works the same way I do.
