First of all, I'd like to say hi, this is my first reply to this mailinglist. 
My name is Maurice Fonk, I'm a freelance webdesigner from holland, and have 
been using Quanta for a while now.

As a reply to Dick and Jens, I'm a Kubuntu user. Information about installing 
KDE 3.5 (and Quanta 3.5) can be found at: 
http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-35.php All that has to be done is add a 
line to the sources list. Upgrading is very interesting, as KDE 3.5 offers 
some great speed improvements.
