Ubuntu or Kubuntu

Hi, I've requested a CD of both Ubuntu and Kubuntu but I want to know which one I should install if any. Thanks

well, after researching them a bit....ubuntu 6.06 sounds more...normal

but I'd spring for kubuntu. Maybe even xubuntu.

ubuntu is easier I think.. I would start with it and then try other variations as you feel comfortable. Do you have much linux experience? I just started using ubuntu 6.06 when it came out.. Very cool. Lots of stuff comes with it, so I'm ahppy. :yesnod:

KDE (Kbuntu) is evil... it's very anoying and doens't look as nice as GNOME (ubuntu)

Ubuntu 7.04 (Edgy Elk or some other stange animal) is out now ^^

i've got it on my laptop... although it doesn't like my wireless lan card... stupid acers and their own software =@


Ubuntu is the best for beginners and the like (i.e. me)

Gnome is best for people who've used Windows computers before... as it has a task bar (of sorts) and KDEs task bar is a little harder to find and use... well at least that's what i found.

I don't know much about linux the operating system... but after trying 8 different linux operating systems... i know which one liked the best.

Well why not both? You can install both Gnome and KDE and switch between them.

I guess you could do that... but the grub loader is really annoying... it's much nicer than the windows one though.
