Yeah - apologies for replying off list... damn "send" button !!! I just think that apart from Gnome and KDE and their apps (for example) there would be a lot in common between Ubuntu and Kubuntu.

For "multiarch's" I meant just 32 and 64 bit. I realise there are PPC et al, but I am restrcting it to these two. Mark.
