OK, I installed Kubuntu with no problems,seems KDE likes this machine better 
than gnome.I also installed KDE 4 from the console but after it starts, I get 
a blank screen ? The only problem I have is the size of my login screen as I 
can not see the session types and just guess that KDE3 is above KDE4 and 
seems to work.How do I change the size of the login screen ? I have been able 
to find in setting. Thanks!
