    hi

    i just want to stop by to tip my hat off to everyone involved in this project. from the developers to the ppl on the forums.
    I've been windoze free now for a little bit over a year now.
    no big problems in the switch over.
    my main 'puter is a Compaq presario dual core 2.8, only 512 ram, 250 gb hd, kubuntu 8.04/kde 3.5
    2nd 'puter was build by a Friend. quad core 2.3, 4gb ram, 500 gb hd, kubuntu 9.04/kde 4.?

    i did try out red hat/fedora & opensuse for a couple of days, but it was not for me.
    kubuntu just feels so comfortable to use.

    Welcome. Always a pleasure to see a new member.

    Nothing wrong with Kubuntu 8.04 w/KDE 3.5. That was a solid platform.

      Salutations! Glad to see comments as yours. It is refreshing. I agree that 8.04 was a very nice release. Your second system there sound very sweet. Is it 64bit?

            Kubuntu Hardy 8.04 was not designated as LTS, but Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 was.

            See Kubuntu LTS and KDE4 (LWN.net)

              Hi muzzi,
              I also use 8.04 w/KDE 3.5. I don't intend to change until after 10.04 has been out for a while. Although, as Snowhog points out, Kubuntu 8.04 is not technically called LTS, the underlying Ubuntu part of it is apparently functionally so. As might be expected, I haven't encountered any additional problems since the original installation. I may be crazier than most, but we all have different ideas of what a good system looks like. Welcome!

                  welcome to kubuntu ,
                  with an upgrade of that magnuitude expect issues. i would recommend a back up and fresh install.
                  if you must upgrade i would use the CLI that way u know whats going on and what packages failed during install (if any).

                    i decided to do a clean install of kubuntu 9.04, i had a live cd, and i upgraded to 9.10 from there.
                    everything is working perfect. i just want to set it up the way i like it.
                    keep up the great work with kubuntu.
                    long live kubuntu & linux
