I'm not a great fan of KDE, I'm sorry but it ALWAYS seems to cause a Seg Fault for me when I try to use it (Mandriva usually). Kubuntu has been the only distro I have used that KDE seems to just work in (as much as would consider running a Kubuntu box too). I think the thing about *ubuntu is that they provide pre-pressed CDs with decent packaging for free. I'd be happy to burn off a couple of CDs or DVDs but even with a CD printer the end result wouldn't match a pre-pressed disc. Is it possible to run some sort of poll on the DCGLUG web site for members with the most popular distros listed and we can choose what we use? (okay, that opens another can of worms to decide which ones are the popular ones).
