hi there!...i just started using ubuntu for about a month and a half...and i had fun configuring my pc...and the first time i installed it i was also interested with some other distributions like xubuntu and kubuntu...i tried installing xubuntu and it lasted for 5 days in my machine...i like the design of xfce but i had problems when it comes to customizing it...and i tried also kubuntu but it lasted for less than an hour in my machine...well i think the reason why i don't like kde it's becuase of the appearance...i don't really like the idea of navigating like WINDOWS style...well for me i like gnome over kde because i can customize it with no problem...
