Re: [PLUG] What's the best KDE-based distro for noobs at this point?

Are they coming from M$ windoze? If so, this shouldn't be much of an
issue.  Couldn't resist.......   ;-)

Kubuntu) are poorly-packaged, resulting in a lot of issues like crashing
or apps that don't start."

I know that this type of question has the potential to provoke a lot of
conflict, but here goes:

Ubuntu is most commonly recommended for installing on newcomers'
computers, but I've read that the KDE packages (as provided with
Kubuntu) are poorly-packaged, resulting in a lot of issues like crashing
or apps that don't start.

Is are Mint's packages the same?  If you wanted to get someone started
on a distro with KDE (that they're going to install themselves), what
would you suggest?

Thanks,
Greg
