A quick look at Kubuntu 8.04 Beta

| As you can see in the gallery below, there is a lot to like. The latest
| Ubuntu family of distros now has support for partition encryption, provided
| that you use the alternate install CD rather than the graphical one. Users
| that chose this feature are prompted for the encryption password at boot
| time, making the system nice and secure.

| In reality, personal preference is what determines the ideal scenario for the
| individual user. I personally like to reinstall the entire OS, including
| my /home partition. That might seem like overkill, but I really like
| that "fresh out of the box" feeling. Plus, I really enjoy the installation
| process, so for me it's just plain fun!

| So after reinstalling windows, hunting down drivers, and setting everything
| up properly, I realized that all I really needed in windows was steam. Since
| I had a fresh reinstall, that would mean I had to download and install
| everything. I’ve always wanted to try Linux, but it was always impractical,
| since I had some stuff installed that I needed, and it would take ages to get
| everything working smoothly on Linux. But now, with a fresh reinstall, why
| not install Linux as well? I downloaded it as I was working with the sound
| card drivers, and as soon as everything was working properly, I burned it
| onto a DVD and started it up.
