Kubuntu is the latest desktop environment for Linux based Operating Systems. A beta version 9.10 has been rolled out along with the KDE 4.3.2 update off-late, which runs well on Ubuntu and you should learn about their combination.
Origin
In Bemba, Kubuntu actually means "towards humanity", while in Kirundi (language spoken in Burundi) it means beer. Therefore, there's a small dispute amongst the folks regarding its actual meaning. In few other languages, it also has few more meanings, but the above-mentioned two are the most recognized ones.
Kubuntu versus Ubuntu 9.10
The title of this post can be rather misleading for Linux geeks as Kubuntu runs on Ubuntu and there's no way to make such a comparison. However, this article is targeted to create a better understanding amongst the amateurs.
Continuing with our discussion, the award winning Ubuntuoperating system doesn't promise 18 months of free security updates, and a biannual release cycle, but Kubuntu does it after all! This K-Desktop Environment based application is even available in form of freely distributed CDs for PC.
Not too many users are familiar with this new platform yet, and some of the folks even have a misconception that it is a fork of Ubuntu.
However, in reality, it is an official part of Ubuntu OS, and an absolutely stable and secure computing environment. People prefer Ubuntu as the choice of operating system despite the presence of powerful ones like Suse, due to the sheer fact that it is lighter, boots faster and works much better and quicker than other Linux flavors.
Instead of going with Kubuntu, you can do everything with KDE, but KDE on Ubuntu is flaky. It may not work well on many occasions and give you problems in auto-update, and several other functionalities. On the contrary, the most recent stable KDE release comes pre-installed in Kubuntu, and there's nothing more that you need to do to make it work well on Ubuntu.
Furthermore, it uses Adept for updates; so there are no complications and the process is effortless.
