Very well, it's been already a couple of weeks using kubuntu as my main OS, and I'm quite happy with it.
BUT I do have some weird problems, and maybe someone here could show me the light ^^"
First thing, my Wine doesn't seem to work properly. While it opens the first time(even the configuration part), it won't run for a second time anymore before I reset the machine.
I can't access the C: drive, it tells me it couldn't find it. And even when I'm using the emulated desktop it stops working, and I have to kill the process to end it.
I already searched the forum for it, and somebody said the problem could be related to desktop effects (I disabled everything, but still no response), and the best way to solve this was using another desktop environment, so I installed fluxbox; but the thing is, I'm not used to fluxbox, and when I try to open the terminal it just dont, so I'm kind of lost there.
And second, Kubuntu Jaunty comes with a nice plasmoid to show me the current charge of the laptop's battery. When I click it it shows me a few options, and a bar saying "screen brightness". Well, I usually like to reduce the brightness of the screen here and it would be very useful, but it simply doesn't work. Perhaps it has something to do with my graphics card (a nVidia nForce 6100GO), but even so, there isn't any way to make this work?
And as a side note: why do I need to hit "^" twice in my keyboard for the character to show up? I could get used to it, but it's not practical in any way o-o
