I'd better start by admitting that I'm a fan of KDE. It's not because it works like Windows, but for the quality of the tools available. However, a GUI is just a way of doing something and I think I've been a bit dismissive of the Gnome desktop up to now. I read a few reviews of Ubuntu, looked at their web site and decided to have a look. I wanted a general purpose (desktop) distribution and an opportunity to get to know the Gnome utilities.

That's why we have new versions :-)
BTW, you can always set a root password in Ubuntu. Since you're not the average Linux newbie this shouldn't be a problem for you. The default behaviour is much better for simple users (sudo and no root logins). Expert users can still do the root thing.
