[Klug-general] Ubuntu and Kabuntu

[Graham]

Does anone use either of these distros?  Ubuntu is the most popular 
distro on Distrowatch.com, and they are quite clear: they distrubute 
their own CDs for free so that you can copy them and distribute them 
for free.  Why don't more Linux distros promote their version of the OS 
in this way?

Ubuntu comes with the Gnome desktop but you can add KDE from their 
depositories...or use Kubuntu which is Ubuntu based on KDE.  Based on 
Debian, they seem to use the sudo system rather than the traditional 
root/user system.  Their apt-get depositories seem right up to date, 
though.

Has anybody who used either Ubuntu and Kubuntu have anything down to say 
about the distros?  Are they worth using?  I'm seriously thinking of 
updating my Libranet set up but I have found so many problems that I'm 
thinking of starting again.  Ubuntu seems a good candidate with KDE 
added, but I'm trying to find feedback.
