Bugs are a pain, especially when a fiddly one comes along involving Python bindings, the number of people who understand SIP is pretty low. So it's nice we were able to fix it quickly. In the reporter's words: Read More

Some comments on switching to Kubuntu from a recent Slashdot article... I switched to Kubuntu ... I haven't looked back. I like *buntu distributions simply because they're the easiest to get up and running.

If you have friends and family you might want to expose to Linux, then Kubuntu will probably be the best overall choice.
