Not at the moment unfortunately, I've got a test install of Kubuntu Breezy 
beta on my machine.  See how bored I was, I opted for some machochism to 
lively things up :-P

What's good:
* Network Manager is brilliant, configure/switch wireless/wired networks on 
the fly with a simple click (even with ndis!)
* Hibernation finally works on my laptop
* KDE is very slick
* Replacement for KDE control center is great
* Newbie software installer would be great if I was a newbie

What's so-so:
* File locations are different and confusing, definately a foreign country
* Using debs is different
* Huge repository and no pay-for club for Nvidia etc, but some other obvious 
stuff missing

What's bad:
* Installer isn't a patch on Mandriva, especially partitioning
* Still a lot of command line configuration required
* Printer detection nowhere near Mandriva's
* KDE has been dumbed down in areas
* If you look in the dictionary for a definition of 'Chaos', you'd find a 
picture of a debian/kubuntu menu...

Keeper?  Tough call.  Hibernation and Network Manager vs Menu Chaos and 
Foreignness.  Maybe another years polishing needed...

John.
