"Kubuntu has been my favorite Linux distribution since the very first release. It was made specifically for us KDE fans, branded with beautiful Kubuntu-specific artwork and themes, contained the best Qt-based software, and dared to be different. In a world ruled by Ubuntu, it's given us KDE fans something to root for. Unfortunately, Kubuntu later became known as Canonical's third wheel, and each release seems to steadily diminish in quality. What's responsible for its current status, and what should be done to improve it?"

Ah. I stripped out most GTK things (SELinux UI stuff, system-config-*, Firefox, etc) for my install. I think the only thing I have yet is nm-applet if only because the KDE version is still under heavy development (I help maintain it, as well as the rest of KDE, in Fedora). I also replace OpenOffice with SSH into my other machine(s) and running LaTeX there. I'll probably throw TeXLive onto the thing once 2009 is officially packaged for Fedora. It's been so long since I've used office software for anything other than opening the random .doc, .odp, etc.
