hey BB,
I just got so fed up with not being able to do much, that I am now downloading Suse 9.3 as I type.
I was following a how to, on making the fonts better in KDE.

I had to compile freetype but kubuntu would not let me, it just said I don't have the priveleges even if I did use the sudo before hand.
I think the Suse may suit me better, as I prefer working with su thatn sudo, I can't seem to get a handle on this.
I did try Mandrake but it was a bit buggy for me, thats why i am changing.
Plus I was getting a sore head trying to read the very small text.
