From Fedora to Kubuntu - Part 0

After going to linuxworld expo in San Francisco, and hearing/seeing all the Ubuntu hype. I decided to give Kubuntu (Ubuntu + KDE packages - Gnome packages = Kubuntu) a spin. I am still running Fedora on one of my work boxes, my home server, and my personal laptop.

I feared the transition from a Red Hat world view to a Debian view, but so far it hasn't been as bad as I feared.

Basic networking is a little different from Fedora to *buntu -- all my NIC configuration is /etc/network

I've come to realize *buntu does a minimalist install. This is not so much how my Fedora installs would go. I'd install everything I knew I would need and then just go. On *buntu you get a basic system install and then a few 'apt-get's to get the rest of the system going.
