I like to use some of the Gnome stuff but I use most of the KDE 
components every day of the week.  So after installing Ubuntu I do 
something like...

apt-get install kde kdm koffice kubuntu-desktop

That installs most of KDE.  Of course, we are assuming that you have 
broadband at home to do this.  This seems to get around the bugs that 
come with Kubuntu installation but then you end up with some other 
which can be solved after some work.  For example, the spampd bug 
that I was suffering with.

Most things work on my desktop and workstation now :)  Just got some 
weird issue with Skype and my Logitech webcam but I think most people 
have anyway.
