    after install...

    this is probably posted somewhere, but i can't find any that are updated. does anyone have a 'recomended' list of things to do after a fresh install of kubuntu 7.10? ie: adept sources, etc.

    Christ on a bike - there are as many answers to that as grains of rice in your local Chinese. What is it you want to do?

        http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/met...tricted-extras
        Package: kubuntu-restricted-extras (10) [multiverse]
        Commonly used restricted packages

        This package depends on some commonly used packages in the Kubuntu multiverse repository.

        Installing this package will pull in support for MP3 playback and decoding, Java runtime environment, Flash plugin, DVD playback, and LAME (to create compressed audio files).

        Please note that packages from multiverse are restricted by copyright or legal issues in some countries. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing for more information.

        About KDE 4

        KDE 4 is at the moment experimental (someone might call it beta). You could install it:

            Yeah. Personally, don't intall it! KDE4 isn't ready for the 'non-experienced' Linux user. If however, you like not having things work, install KDE 4.0.

            I myself, haven't, and won't, install KDE4. I'm waiting until it is at least as functional as KDE 3.5.8.

                and i appreciate it all. i'm not an inexperienced user. i've been using ubuntu for the last year, and i started with KDE years before that. i recently switched back to KDE, and was just wanting to try KDE 4. which i am now doing (along side KDE 3.5.8) needless to say, yes, it does still need a lot of work. but, that's why i have both .. anyway, thank you to all who replied. all were helpful.

                  Re: after install...

                  Ok, so I DID install KDE 4.0 and now all I get is this "welcome to debian" screen to log into when I restarted. I login and the only thing available at ALL is the terminal. How do I uninstall 4.0 safely?? Help!
