Kubuntu - first impresisons

Kubuntu looks indeed very nice, customizable beyond imagination (thanks to KDE). Kopete, the instant messenger, is very configurable; the only thing I miss is the ICQ file transfer (in Pidgin it worked like a charm). As an alternative, one has to use either Pidgin, or Qnext for to be able to send files through KDE with ICQ. KDE is fast, when used without the effects. Did I mention it looks really nice? So far, I like Kubuntu, especially the new menu style the developers created (which resembles the SLED menu of GNOME).
