[LinuxUsers] Kubuntu 9.04 stability!

[Chris Penn]

KDE 4 has had issues across the board.  My department really went
through hell when KDE 4 came out and many of the profs at my school
decide to TRY and install KDE 4 themselves.  Even Linus Torvald moved
to Gnome until KDE 4 gets more stable.  I have not had issues with
32bit Jaunty 9.04 w/ Gnome.  I have yet to test 64bit but I assume it
is more stable with Gnome.
