It's been quite a while since I did anything more indepth with Linux than the brief fiddle I had with the Ubuntu Live CD last week, & I remember finding things like the directory structure/filing system/whatever rather confusing. That's why I was hoping for something that could do what I wanted automatically without me having to "get my hands dirty", as it were, until I'm more familiar with Linux in general.


I don't plan [ATM] on running Ubuntu & Kubuntu, I'm planning on having 2 versions [32 & 64bit] of Kubuntu. As for the difference between Ubuntu & Kubuntu, I probably know the least about Linux out of everyone in this thread, so it's very possible that I'm wrong with this, but from what I've read/heard the main [only?] difference between Ubuntu & Kubuntu is that Ubuntu uses Gnome & Kubuntu uses KDE.
It will still get listed differently the kernel can be prefixed with a build tag.

I had Debian one with dragondtop appended to the end once the kernel name is et when its compiled
