I have been trying to get Kubuntu Linux up and running as dual boot with 
XP home and PRO for the last month or so. It's been one problem after 
another, first it wouldn't accept any password, then couldn't change the 
video refresh and resolution, and goes on and on. Stuck at the moment to 
getting the network to share with the XP PRO. I keep hearing it's more 
stable, If I could get to the point of using it, maybe I could express 
an opinion.

There are no good manuals, or how to do it out there. Good example is 
the network problem, search the forums, ask question on the forums, 
google to wherever. Lots of well meaning people out there, but their 
configuration is a little different with files in a different path, etc, 
try to mesh the nomenclature together, and you hit a dead end, go try 
someone elses ideas, still doesn't work. One would think as popular as 
Linux dual boot with XP seems to be, there would be a utility that does 
the grunt work, instead of laboring with command line for hours. The 
Windows seems more friendly with less command line, but I have spent 
lots of time with command prompt and regedit.
