Kubuntu Linux bug hunting setup

next: Kubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal config list

I've found quite a lot of bugs in Kubuntu. Now let's try to hunt them down in a systematic way. This is my setup.

The overall setup consists of 4 PCs. Ignore the large tower below the desk on the left side, it is not involved.

Left you see a Zotac Zbox AD02 with 8 GiB RAM, 64 GB SSD, keyboard, mouse. On the right you see a Zotac Zbox AD03, also with 8 GiB RAM and 64 GB SSD, keyboard, mouse. The keyboard and the mouse in the middle belong to the PC below the desk on the right side, which has an AMD A8-3850 Llano CPU, 8 GiB RAM and 100 GB SSD. Finally, in the middle you see my laptop, which I use for taking notes during bug hunting.

Now let's hunt bugs!
