Kubuntu Hardy Heron KDE 4 Remix review

The latest version of the KDE variant of Ubuntu, has two versions - the standard disc featuring KDE 3.5.9, and this KDE 4 Remix disc, which features the new KDE 4.0 release.

Once you’ve gone through with the installation process, which is virtually identical to that of the standard KDE 3 disc, you get greeted with the Kubuntu KDE4 desktop.

It features an attractive blue abstract desktop background, with the black KDE bar running across the bottom. The K menu is obvious and clear, and therefore should be very simple to pick up if you’ve ever used KDE before. More on the K menu later, however.

The KDE 4 spin of Kubuntu apparently lacks overt Kubuntu branding and from the user’s perspective looks like a stock copy of KDE 4 without modifications.

One of the first things you may notice is this weird looking icon in the top right.
