After Ubuntu 7.04

I wish I had the time needed to read and learn about Archlinux (not likely in the next few months). I can remember an applicable joke for this:
[A surgeon sais to a friend 'You know, I can teach you how to perform a brain surgery in 40 minutes, but I will need 4 years to teach you some of the things you need to know, if something goes wrong'].
So, today I finally found some time. The few previous days, after I had tried the LiveCD of Ubuntu 7.10, I gave myself a heavy thinking about removing 7.04 and trying some other linux - Debian, Archlinux. I considered the time I will need to learn the other linux. Then I upgraded 7.04. After not that painless upgrade, I finally installed KDE (3.5.8), removed Gnome (maybe forever), and now all is configured. Nicely done, Kubuntu team!
