Not sure. Over 6 months ago. Any idea where that might be stored? Any file
timestamp unlikely to change since install? Since May 2008 it seems, but I
thought it was at least a month later than that...

For what *I* typically do on a computer (which involves a lot of C++
compiling), it's perfect. And my mom can still read her email.

I'm not new; I did admin stuff on a remote server (over ssh) for like a year
before installing Linux on my desktop; and I installed Linux on my desktop
over 6 months ago.

I used KDE 3.5 all the time here. I should update to the next version of
Kubuntu, but that means going to KDE 4 like it or not. I was also trying
GNOME because last time I tried it was years ago. Doesn't seem to have
improved much.

I was comparing because KDE 3.5 isn't really that good. But it seems the
alternatives aren't too much better...
