Ubuntu Fesity Pt 2

Now onto part 2 of my review of feisty fawn. After installing the ubuntu base system, the first thing I done was went about adding the restricted repos. After this I ran a sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop to install KDE. This worked great , took forever and a day b/c of my slow comcast cable. After installing I chose kdm as my standard login manager and logged back into kde. Everything seemed fine so I went about setting up beryl using the beryl wiki. After a few hiccups with modifying the xorg file, I had beryl up and running on this old laptop. VERY easy to configure, infact I think this may be the easiest to setup I've ever experienced. Once again, the install and setup of this laptop was absolutely amazing. I never once had anything that upset me. I can't say that I like the tap-to-click being enabled by default, but thats simple enough to change in the xorg(although there should really be a gui tool to change that by now). Anyway, once again if you are looking for a distro that is AMAZINGLY easy to get setup and running, at least with an ATI card, then def download an iso and check it out. As far as the actual final review of the distro itself, check back later b/c I haven't played with it and neither has Miranda.
