This seems like a great guide. I have used Kubuntu for the last half year, and will try this out.

Though, even for a new Linux user like myself, I wonder if the guide is not a too much copy of how Ubuntu / Gnome is managed. Isn't there already a package management tool in Kubuntu, the Adept Manager? On Wikipedia it says "Kynaptic is a graphical package management tool based on KDE and APT using the same code base as Synaptic." and on the site about Adept Manager, it says it replaced Kynaptic. So why then install Synaptic?

Also, why install so many photo editors and multimedia programs? Isn't one program enough for watching movies...? But thanks again, I will try it when I get home!
