I don't have time or desire to compile my own version for the ARM 
processor, or any good way to test it yet.  Nor do I want to get stuck 
supporting people with my home-brew version.  That is why I was hoping 
that the Kubuntu folks were working on a version for the ARM like Ubuntu 
has done.

Alternatively, there are other distributions that have both KDE and an 
ARM version, so perhaps this is the end of Ubuntu for me - we will see.
