    Hi,
    Thanks for the article.
    i need a clarification – As i read on some other sites

    1) If you have Kubuntu installed then we can go ahead and do –
    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
    2)In case of Ubuntu we need to do (if KDE 4* is not installed)
    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop

    Please let me know if this is correct or we can just run
    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
    ir-respective of Ubuntu or Kubuntu installed.

    Thanks
    Rohan
