Re: [PLUG] 'Painless' upgrade from Xubuntu to Kubuntu?


I have done Xubuntu to Kubuntu migrations (7.10 and 8.04), and never
had a problem.  The only things to think about are things like kdm vs.
gdm.  I think there may be a couple of other packages where the
kubuntu choices replace the xubuntu choices.  It would be interesting
to see what dependency errors you get,.
