I was wondering the same thing.

If mint is ubuntu disguised, ubuntu is debian disguised.

kubuntu,linux mint kde and netrunner are my favorite.
check out mageia too!

If you don't mind a LOT of "added extras" (bloat), I would say try PCLOS Full Monty.

It is KDE fully configured and is pretty impressive.

I think it is as close to being implimented as the KDE devs invision the DE as you are going to get.

That said it is also huge with 4 file managers and 3 web browsers. A clean install on 2 partitions gave me a / partition with more than 12 gigs in it.

Comes on a Live DVD.

I am not a fan of KDE. Don't like it in fact. Like to have on on the box to show folks because some folks really like it.

Anyone that does like KDE owes it to themselves to get the ISO, burn it and give it a look. Might give you some ideas on how you would like to configure things.

I tried PCLOS before, it does not have ibus to input chinese.

We know, you have told us before

I like the past Opensuse DVD, it asks you to add languages at the beginning of installation.

opensuse is a good os but it was not a open source distro=(
and it use rpm so its not as easy as debian :s

rpm is more difficult to install, but in opensuse, right-click it and install.

rpm are NOT more difficult to install, that's nonsense. tools like yum or aptitude make rpms and debs equally trivial.

I try netrunner, seems very good.

me i think its good too!
i finded a good distro named mageia.
check it out it is very interesting too!

mageia is based on Mandriva.

What does half of what you are posting in this thread have to do with Ubuntu Ultimate 3.2?

we are talking about whatever related to "alternatives" we have for linux distro.

Hey, man, like don't tred on the trip here. This is heavy stuff man.
