This software is an Ubuntu-based distribution that runs on netbooks and features the KDE desktop environment.
Kubuntu is a popular Ubuntu-derived distribution that comes packed with the K Desktop Environment or KDE. Essentially, Kubuntu CDs consist of Ubuntu's base and KDE. However, it is also possible to create the same effect by installing Ubuntu and adding the KDE packages from the Ubuntu archives.
The development of Kubuntu started a few years back as a result of several months of work to combine KDE into Ubuntu's main repository. Ever since, it has become the first major derived Ubuntu distribution. Notably, Kubuntu is an official project of Ubuntu, not a fork. Therefore, it shares the same package archive and infrastructure.
One of the most appealing aspects of Kubuntu is its flexibility. It is possible to convert an Ubuntu system to Kubuntu or vice versa. Overall, Kubuntu is a stable, robust, and excellent distribution perfect for any user who desires the K Desktop Environment.
