I just upgraded to Kubuntu v7.04 (a.k.a. ‘Feisty Fawn’) yesterday, and I have to say this is by far the best version of Kubuntu yet. I totally love it. I love launching applications using Katapult, I love the cool transition effects, I love the new default styles. Most of this stuff was there in Edgy as well, but Feisty Fawn just seems to be so much smoother. Also, there are some better features for system, network and printer management.
I’ve also installed PHP, MySQL, PHPMyAdmin and Apache server on the machine, and I’m learning to build database-driven Web applications using PHP and MySQL (from scratch). The very nice photograph i use in this post comes from Basajaun.
Word of advice: If you’re using Kubuntu 6.10 (’Edgy Eft’) right now and want to upgrade, do not use the upgrading method that’s mentioned on the Ubuntu Web site. I tried upgrading using the built-in upgrading tool in Edgy, and it screwed up my system on the notebook. The best way is to back up your ‘home’ directory, and re-install from a CD. You can download Kubuntu for free over here.
