[vox] Why Ubuntu, Kubuntu?

[Carl Boettiger]

Any reason not to upgrade?  I upgraded to the Jaunty release candidate
last Friday.  Upgrade went smoothly, nothing broke, (*plugs in usb
camera to make sure* yup, still works, unlike intrepid upgrade...).
The new notification system is slick, the multiple displays interface
is improved (important for me since I take laptop from home to work
and connect it to a different external monitor at each location).
Haven't tried to do anything with ext4, reformatting my harddisk
sounds like a pain.  Any reason to?  They say rebooting is faster now,
but I can't vouch for that, since I haven't rebooted yet :-P.
