mensch Registered Member Posts 178 Karma 0 OS	RE: Kubuntu 9.04 vs Debian KDE 4.2 experimental Tue Mar 24, 2009 1:53 pm Amarok 2 is also in the experimental repositories of Debian. I'm not sure what the differences are between Debian and Kubuntu exactly. What I do know is that Kubuntu moves faster, often at the cost of stability. I believe KDE 4.2 on Jaunty Jackalope will run on Qt 4.5, despite KDE 4.2. not being tested with that version of Qt. So Kubuntu will offer more bleeding edge features (the Networkmanager widget, for example), but Debian is a more stable choice with regard to KDE 4.2, I think. I have forced myself to contradict myself in order to avoid conforming to my own taste. Marcel Duchamp
