Me & Kubuntu

  • First tried Kubuntu Hoary on my old notebook - impressed with how good laptop support can be out-of-box

  • Switched my work notebook completely to Kubuntu Breezy (using VmPlayer for remaining Win stuff I need)

  • Started testing with Kubuntu Flight 2 and got hooked into improving it even further
  • With Flight 5 switched to Dapper completely

Kubuntu Laptop Support

I am very interested in great laptop support in Kubuntu. Kubuntu is already best debian-based distribution in that regard, but there are some development that we need to follow closely to keep up-to-date.

There is major work going on on [http://powersave.sourceforge.net powersave] & [http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=29295 kpowersave] solution: see KubuntuPowersave for details.

Network Management
