What is the difference between Ubuntu and Kubuntu?
Excellent question! The main differences are: (1) The biggest difference is that Kubuntu is on a DVD, while Ubuntu is on a CDROM. Since a DVD holds 6.5 times the data of a CD, this means Kubuntu carries with it hundreds more applications, packages, and libraries than the CDROM version. (2) Kubuntu includes both the Gnome and KDE (default) desktop interfaces, again due to size difference between DVD and CDROM. Ubuntu INCLUDES ONLY Gnome by default, although you can download KDE if you like. That’s the reason for the K in Kubuntu – because it includes KDE. KDE looks slightly more like Windows, while Gnome looks a little prettier, but a little less familiar. (3) Documentation. Both disks include the familiar Help system you’re used to with windows. However, Kubuntu includes a complete and easy to follow tutorial with the DVD that you can access simply by opening up the Konqueror system/web browser (Kubuntu also includes other browsers, such as Firefox and others).
