Well I'm judging from my limited experience, few hours on both, but first things that come to mind is:
- Windows Migration Assistant, present in Ubuntu, not in Kubuntu, or I completelly missed it
- installing graphics crad drivers is a piece o cake in Ubuntu, just click restricted drivers and enable them, you gotta do it the old fashioned way in Kubuntu
- Desktop effects are installed and a click away in Ubuntu, not in Kubuntu, you gotta go through the terminal and all
Small things that matter a lot to a beginner I would say.

So after 24 hours exactly, I fully finished upgrading to Feisty.
The first let down, the touchpad doesn't work on it. Just like with Edgy and Dapper before it, I will have to recompile the kernel in order to make it work

I'm thinking of installing Ubuntu, i burned the CD with it.
The thing is.. i tested it w/o installing and it seems great! But I have windows XP on a 250GB harddrive. I got 80gb free space. And I wanna install Ubuntu on like 10gb of that. But I suck at making partions.
Anyone wanna help me? Also, I wonder how to do with drivers and Ubuntu

It's a well known problem with the HP 510, the only solution thats posted on the Ubuntu forum is recompiling, someone has already dedicated a website for it:

Its not really a big deal tbh, besides when I recompile I can customize the kernel especially for the laptop, i.e making it for pentium M and disabling high ram support and what not.

As for drivers, I assume that if everything worked properly on the livecd, then the the install will work properly, in any case I doubt that if you have any problem that there isn't a workaround for it. Just ask us over here.
PS: Use the Ubuntu forums! www.ubuntuforums.org
PS2: download Feisty and install it, it's a new version thats out yesterday.
Feisty is the codename of the latest release of Ubuntu. It came out Thursday this week. Ubuntu releases are named by the year and month in which they were released, along with an animal named described by an adjective.
"Feisty Fawn" was released in April 2007, so its version number is 7.04. A new Ubuntu is released every 6 months (as opposed to every 3-6 years with Windows) The next release will be 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon, which (as the name suggests) will be released in October 2007.

No, you won't have to do any coding or programming. Some things will take some getting used to since you're a long-time Windows user, but overall I dare say that Ubuntu is easier to use in many many aspects. If you do run into any problems, you can always ask for help here, and also the Ubuntu Forums are a fantastic place to look for answers, since the problem you're having has probably been experienced by thousands of people before you.
That said, using Linux/Ubuntu does give people the option of doing a lot of hacking/programming, and there's a huge community of people who make programs and share them for everyone else to use.

EDIT: With Ubuntu, will I have to depend alot on coding and programming etc? Using codes to get things to work? I'm not good at that
