To answer my own question: "As an Ubuntu user, you may be concerned that your favorite GNOME applications will not run under Kubuntu. That is not the case. In recent times, much work has been done to increase compatibility between GNOME and KDE. Today, virtually all GNOME applications will run under KDE and vice-versa." http://www.kubuntu.org/docs/about-kubuntu/C/index.html Sir Robin ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
