Ok after being on strictly Ubuntu for 5 months I realized that I really needed to have a Windows partition for quite a few things still. I had attempted numerous times to get things that were Windows based running under Wine with no avail.
I installed PlayOnLinux to play Runes of Magic on my machine and after a LONG time downloading the game it would constantly update the game and never play. I felt I was stuck in Groundhog Day with this.

Ok I quit KDE like a bad habit and went back to GNOME. I like GNOME and most of the tutorials for Ubuntu are based in it so I am going to keep using that.
KDE is visually stunning, but for me there is a few things I cannot use with it. Like UbuntuTweak.
I have been working with the GNOME interface more and I have my desktop the way I like it. I even have my girlfriend using my laptop from time to time and she’s not as scared of Linux as she used to be.
That’s really all I have to report at this time…

Now that Karmic has been released. I have played with normal Ubuntu and ran into a slight issue with some of the software I ran just stopped working because of other things I tried to install that must have broken the dependencies for some odd reason. My fault, not the software.
