I have been trying to install hardy heron and whenever i choose the install opt it shows text mode . . Busybox shell mode
is the dvd corrupt or is it like that only . .

you may have downloaded alternate cd with ncurses based debian installer.this version is better than ubiquity based gui installer imo.

wat r the main difference b/w Ubuntu and Kubuntu? all the commands r going to be the same, expect ubuntu uses gnome and kubuntu uses KDE??

I got a copy of Kubuntu 8.04 and a copy of Ubuntu 8.04 Server Edition 64-bit today.....should I try out them??

does KDE hav anything more than gnome?? and wat all extra features r on Ubuntu Server edition?? I hav heard dat everybody runs normal linux editions even on servers, b'coz they usually hav all the modules of servers....is dat so??

Ubuntu is lighter and faster. Kubuntu is good too, it's a matter of taste.

Ubuntu Server iso installs a minimal system without all of the X-server packages, compiz, etc. for graphic display and packages such as openoffice, gimp, etc.
It installs servers like LAMP.
