Yes it surely is.

But!

imo it's not a good idea to have KDE as a desktop environment on a netbook. It's too heavy for it.

Gnome is more configurable and light.

And imo also gnome is more beautiful than KDE =)

I think that KDE is going to be a good choice for netbooks, because they are working hard on it.

Gnome is not so netbook friendly .

And it's not heavy at all. On my desktop pc it's usually around 400 MB of RAM and netbooks come with at least 1GB.

And about the beauty this is the first time that I heard someone saying that Gnome is more beautiful :)

KDE Netbook is soooo god man! I love it!

@lukic04 Gnome is more beautiful if you'd ask me too :D

But anyway,KDE is a lot heavier, not because RAM but because stronger graphics card is needed and netbooks have it integrated on mainboard so it runs slow.

Its next to impossible to find this release starting at the main xubuntu site. A lot of distros have terrible websites.

these reviews would have been a lot more helpful and interesting if you talked instead of the weird music. thank you for showing me what it looks like though.

KDE...I'm really wonder what is better;Gnome and KDE. But as I saw, if my computer has enough RAM memory, I think KDE is better than Gnome. I'm gonna test it.

My Samsung NC10 is great, 1.6ghz (All right :S), 2gb DDR2 ram (Great!) 160gb HDD (Great) an 256mb v-ram (Great!) So i think i will look at this soon :) Kubuntu or Ubuntu?

KDE resembles (to me) the more modern OSes out there (like Vista and Win7) (OSX hasn't changed much hence the no mention) Gnome resembles XP, though both GUIs look great and it comes down to how you want your interface to feel and perform for me it's KDE. great vid

it's so confusingly :D

[leonresidentevilfan]

whats the song?

[recklessness1987]

if anything, Gnome is DEFINITELY not more configurable than KDE
