Kubuntu, after I tried to recommend to a non-techie friend, tends to
have more problem than my second recommendataion: OpenSuSE with KDE. It
seems even OpenSuSE+Gnome is not better than Ubuntu, OpenSuSE+KDE
surpass Kubuntu. Not sure (since he only tried Kubuntu for 1.5 months),
but feels like that.
