DISQUS

My affection for the Linux operating system is sometimes tested, and this past weekend was one of those times. I was so looking forward to installing the new Kubuntu 8.10 to my desktop and wasted a day for nothing. Not only was the new KDE 4.1 desktop rather horrible and slow, it could not recognize my monitor resolution properly. My searching around online seemed to indicate that this was a real problem. I switched back to version 8.04 where I never had a problem with my GeForce 7 card. The reason I wanted to change originally was that I loaded the amd64 version of 8.04 and found I had to jump through hoops to get some things to work (like Skype, Flash, Acrobat for Linux) or that there were no 64 bit versions of various programs. Anyway, 8.04.1 Kubuntu works just great. I'll be sticking with it until official support stops.
