Kubuntu sucks....
Same as Ubuntu with all the same wireless/sound/endless/wasted time configuring problems with a different color box.
Hail!! OS X & WINDOWS!
Using Linux will make you love Windows and OS X that much more.
It is outdated version. New version is available.
Kubuntu and Ubuntu always get my best words but version 8.10 (released on October 30, 2008) is already available:
Kubuntu Ubuntu Ver. 8.10 and Linux Training Library 2DVD+CD
A nice integration of a real operating system
Linux has come to an amazing level of maturity, and the Ubuntu family (Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Edubuntu, etc.) are very pleasant options of Linux to use, very well integrated and useful. From easy installation, auto-detection of internet connection, painless updates, very useful GUIs, and a huge number of applications available make you think about all those chores about defragmenting, cleaning virus and spam from your hard disk and reinstalling software a thing of the past.

kubuntu heads and shoulders over microsoft

Great Linux distro...
I'm long time Linux user and for two years used ubuntu and decided give a try to kubuntu. KDE grew into very cool experience! As I wasn't sure which one I'm gonna stay with, I ordered Kubuntu, Ubuntu and Linux Training Library 2DVDs+CD and it actually provides both! Enjoy! It is awesome Linux distro, real cutting edge! The graphics real cool and advanced, the software bundled etc. I'm still missing decent video editing for Linux... may be something decent soon? The control is effortless, no bug s so far... Terrific!
Ubuntu and Kubuntu are the only complete, not stripped down versions! Highly recommended!
