Like I promised I’m here with the review of the new Kubuntu 9.10 
I must say that I was surprised! I thought that they will use the same old installation interface, but there is a new and more attractive one. It’s very easy to use, it’s very user-friendly and has a nice new look. In 15 minutes you have a new OS on your computer because it is very fast, accept the last step where the post-installation triggers are being prepared.
Hi everybody !!!
Sorry for not posting anything on the blog about Kubuntu and other Linux stuff for a long period of time. I’m back and I will try to recover the lost time. I will start with a post about the new Kubuntu 9.10 . I heard it’s very good. I’ll install it on my PC and make a review and a short movie to see what’s all about.
I’m glad that I’m back and I’ll see you soon

I finally decided to give Linux Mint 7 Gloria (a Linux operating system based on Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope) a try, since the software from 6 was kind of dated, and the idea of beginning to compile source code doesn’t quite appeal to me. I didn’t have a spare blank CD, but I did have a blank USB flash drive. Following these simple directions I managed to make a bootable USB drive — the equivalent of a live CD (except I can now reuse the flash drive for other purposes).
The install process per se is pretty straightforward, no problems here. Soon I had a functional installation of Linux Mint 7 Gloria.
After the installation of the Kubuntu 9.04 was successful, you will boot in it. First you will have to select the user name that you entered in the final steps of the installation and the password. Then it will load the KDE environment. In my case, the connection to the Internet was automatically. Kubuntu recognizes and installs the network drivers from the beginning. You don’t have to do a thing. After that, I recommend that you install the updates and the video drivers.
In this article I present a step-by-step tutorial for installing Kubuntu 9.04. Before starting the installation you should enter on Kubuntu’s official website and download it. Then burn the image with a burning software (I recommend PowerISO because is very good and easy to use) on a CD (don’t burn it on a CD-RW !!! ). The Kubuntu 9.04 CD will be bootable and ready to use.

I finally made up my mind!
The distribution of Linux that I choose to use is Kubuntu 9.04 which is a Desktop Environment, so for those whom start using Linux after using Windows will be easier because there are similarities between the 2 OSs.
A short description from the official website:
“Kubuntu is a free, user-friendly operating system based on the K Desktop Environment and on the award winning Ubuntu operating system. With a biannual release cycle and at least 18 months of free security updates for each release, it is the secure, stable computing environment you’ve been waiting for.”
It is a very easy to use Linux os, full of effects and has everything you want and need. I actually recommend it if you like using a KDE, if you want to use gnome than Ubuntu is the perfect choice. The number of packages is very big and they are very easy and fast to install. The latest updates of the Kubuntu 9.04 are: the first update of the KOffice 2 (KOffice 2.0.1), Karmic Alpha 2 released, KDE 4.3 Beta, Amarok 2.1 and others.
After I install this Linux distribution I hope in a few days to publish the first “S.O.S.-movie”. If you want to download Kubuntu 9.04 just click here.
Before I officially start this blog I want to present you a short movie of my previous Linux OS: Kubuntu 9.04. It had the KDE 4.2 with Kwin desktop effects. It worked almost perfect, with some minor errors, but now there is an updated version of Kubuntu 9.04 and I think the bugs are fixed. The package manager is very easy to use, maybe the easiest, and has almost everything you need.
At the moment I’m preparing to install a version of Linux to start working. I think I’ll install Linux Mint. If you have another suggestion please leave a comment.
This blog is dedicated for Linux beginners. In here will be posted step by step movies on how to set up your Linux correctly and it’s programs. Every movie will have a short text description to help you understand what’s in it. The text will be necessary because all the movies will have a sound track, not a spoken explication. I hope that with this blog I will help the Linux starters and encourage people to use a free Linux OS because it’s faster, better, more secure and of course FREE ! Enjoy and if you will have questions please ask then as a comment and I will answer as fast as I can. Have a nice day
