This is one of the most active Linux sites in Norway (proabably THE most 
active)

The "poll" is done by users setting in their profile what is their default 
distro and desktop environment.

If there is an interest then I can ask the moderator what percenage is Kubuntu 
and what is Ubuntu.

It's mostly ment as information, we often see polls where people vote and then 
KDE comes out good. This is based upon their profiles and is maybe more 
accurat than a poll.

I think it also highligts that KDE needs to be active in these arenas also. 
There are regularly new users comming to this site asking for advise and with 
most of the users going Gnome... That is not good for KDE.

Is there a god "10 points" to convince a new user to choose KDE when they want 
to try Linux? It seems like may stick with their first choice.

regards birger....
