The release of Ubuntu 11.10 also means that all of the related spins have also been updated, including Kubuntu 11.10. Many people have expressed dissatisfaction with Ubuntu after Canonical added Unity to it. Kubuntu has often been mentioned as a possible replacement for Ubuntu for users who dislike Unity and want to move to another…
The release of Ubuntu 11.04 has garnered an enormous amount of attention, mostly due to the inclusion of Unity as its default desktop environment. But, as with any new version of Ubuntu, there are alternatives available and one of the most prominent is Kubuntu. Kubuntu 11.04 is a KDE-based distro that might work well as…
This week can definitely be summed up as Canonical Week, first with the release of Ubuntu 10.10 and then the release of its sister distros (Kubuntu, Lubuntu, etc.). This time around I took a look at Kubuntu 10.10. My impression of the last release of Kubuntu wasn't very positive. Well imagine my surprise when I…

Last week I took a look at the latest release of Ubuntu. This week I thought it would be great to continue with Kubuntu Linux 9.10. For those who aren't familiar with Kubuntu, it's basically the KDE version of Ubuntu (Ubuntu uses Gnome as its desktop environment). Before I get into this review, I wanted…
No writer is completely without bias. I do the best I can to be even-handed and objective when reviewing a distribution.
