[arj]

Hi All

A newbie here, what type or is any software compatible with Kubuntu?

Thx

what kind of software r u talking about? linux or windows software?

Err, anything ending in .exe is not (easily) installable in kubuntu.

Have you installed kubuntu somewhere? If you have, go to System > Administration > Synaptic package manager. This is an interface that will install any of several thousand software packages for you.

Anything particular you looking for?

Yeah, but it might be a little early in the morning to go down that road.

Thanks for all the replies, I have been reading about Linux and Kubuntu and was investigating the option of an alternative OS to Windows, so yeah, actually all software that could be used in a Windows OS

Seems this Kubuntu way is rather kindda rough

why dont u dual boot xp/vista with k/ubuntu so that u can ease into it instead of just jumping in? it is a bit rough initially because of the way ur probably used to windows already, but it does get easier with time.
/me talks from experience, with kubuntu
