[PyKDE] [Slightly OT] Best Linux(es) to experiment with KDE/PyKDE?

[Kenneth McDonald]

I'm just about to install Kubuntu on my OS X to start using PyKDE. 
However, on Mac forums, I've seen some comments to the effect that 
people have had difficulty with Ubuntu/Kubuntu on the Mac. If this 
doesn't work, I'll be looking for alternative Linux variants. KDE-based 
distros are _strongly_ preferred, as are those that require little 
config, are reliable at installing packages, etc. etc. I decided to try 
Kubuntu because it and Mandriva seem to be the acknowledged leaders for 
ease of use today, and afaik, Mandriva is Gnome based.

Sorry for the slightly OT subject of this post, but given that the only 
reason I want Linux is to start using pykde, it seems at lease somewhat 
appropriate :-)

Thanks,
Ken
