about package managers
Author
I've got Kubuntu for a few days - yeah, well, maybe not the best place to ask - and i'm trying to install basic stuff i'd use. Mozilla, Gaim, php-apache-mysql, a recording tool, etc.
Whenever i try to install something, it says "BREAK(INSTALL)" and nearby "conflict". I'm using Adept, in KDE.
what's wrong, what should i do?

I can't say I've used Adept (or Kubuntu), but it seems like your repository list is missing something or Kubuntu changed/broke some packages (or you haven't updated your package list, possibly just the former).
To check your repository list, open /etc/apt/sources.list. Post it here if you'd like.
At the command line, try sudo apt-get install whatever and see if the output is more enlightening. If not, post it here.

Opera works fine on Ubuntu. I don't know about the "show desktop" button in KDE. I'm a Gnome man myself.

Try right-clicking on the KPanel and choose Panel Menu > Add to Panel > Special Button > Show Desktop.
I've never used Ubuntu so I'm not sure they haven't removed this, but it's basic KDE functionality.
