I tried these back in May just after they came out. While I am not a fan of Kubuntu, I would say they did the best job on this remix. I also had crash problems, but I was running in VMWare Player. In addition to the Plasma interface, I had random app crashes. Also, switching between open apps is not intuitive at all. It took me a while to figure out.
I also had set the resolution to mimic that of a 10″ netbook, 1024×600. The Ubuntu remix seemed to handle it just fine, but it took a few tries for Kubuntu to get it.
I can’t speak to how this would work in a netbook and I don’t have it in my Virtualbox right now, but I’ve run builds like this in the past and they have worked pretty well for me. I have had good success with two distros out of this LTS family: Kubuntu 10.04 (briefly ran Lubuntu 10.04, also installed Ubuntu 10.04) and I also have Peppermint OS One (recently updated) installed.
Peppermint, with the light environment, is quite snappy; I’d expect a light KDE environment to be pretty snappy too.
If I get a chance again, I’ll take a closer look at this. Meanwhile, should I get a netbook or tablet, I’d consider this one (though with the tablet I may be more inclined to do with Android or ChromeOS).
