Kubuntu 8.04 in dual boot with Win XP on the notebook and with Win 2000 on the desktop.

Why not 8.10?

I don't remember the differences between installing stuff in Ubuntu and Kubuntu.

Still not fixed. Maybe big update by ioi? Hopefully

8.04 was the first release to install with almost no effort on my notebook, while Xubuntu 7.10 was quite difficult, as it didn' recognize graphics card and wi-fi module. Right now 8.04 is still doing fine, so I'll wait when I'll build my new desktop to evaluate upgrading on the notebook too.

About installers, Kubuntu by default uses Adept instead of Synaptic, but they are both front-end for apt, so you can use whichever you like. Each one has its pro's and con's, Adept is maybe simpler, but Synaptic has some nice features I like, like an immediate way to see suggested and related packets users may want to install together with the packet chosen, and it has a very neat and easy tool for dist upgrade.

Have you tried the font possible solution? For me it worked.

Also, if you tried, you must restart the browser to see the effects, simply reloading the page didn't work for me, most probably either FF kept the suboptimal substitute font cached and/or it updates the font database available only at start.

I still wonder why is this thread the only one in the entire site that's messed up for me
