I never used Kubuntu and I didn't know that exist, I use Ubuntu 9.10 (free to download) and I play a lot with the setting, your computer system should recognized it automatically, is pretty easy to set up and it will be working in matter of seconds. Search in Mahalo - ubuntu 9.10 download - for your free copy. Question, do you know how much memory it has and hdd space?
Note, if still doen't work the wireless might no working.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
