Yeah, Kubuntu 10.04 is a little sluggish on my tower as well. I'm considering XUbuntu first if it gets any worse, as I hear that's branded "Ubuntu Lite" and I have few complaints with the flavor so far aside from resource hogging. Although my needs are a little less stringent than David's. (I'm not a developer or a hacker.)<br>
