Download / Request - Ubuntu / Kubuntu - A Guide
This guide contains details about Ubuntu and Kubuntu with their description, download and CD request links. If you'd like to use Ubuntu/Kubuntu right away, I would suggest you to download the CD (.iso) image. However, you may request the CD if you want to, but it will take a few weeks to be delivered into your location. Please note that in order to request a CD, you will have to register for launchpad service in the page that follows.
Ubuntu
Ubuntu is a community developed operating system that is perfect for laptops, desktops and servers. Ubuntu is a computer operating system based on the Debian Linux distribution. It is named after the Southern African ethical ideology Ubuntu (humanity towards others) and is distributed as free and open source software. Whether you use it at home, at school or at work Ubuntu contains all the applications you'll ever need, from word processing and email applications, to web server software and programming tools.
Ubuntu is and always will be free of charge. You do not pay any licensing fees. You can download, use and share Ubuntu with your friends, family, school or business for absolutely nothing.
In other words, Ubuntu can completely work as an alternative to Microsoft Windows, and in many ways function far better than Windows.
There are two ways to get Ubuntu. Download Ubuntu CD image (.iso) file, burn it into a CD, and install it into your computer; OR request a free CD from Canonical (A private company founded by South African entrepreneur Mark Shuttleworth for the promotion of Ubuntu and other free software projects.) through shipit service, which will be delivered to your address via postal mail.

Kubuntu is an official derivative of the Ubuntu operating system using the KDE graphical environment instead of GNOME. It is part of the Ubuntu project and uses the same underlying system. It is possible to run both the KDE desktop (kubuntu-desktop) as well as the Gnome desktop (ubuntu-desktop) interchangeably on the same machine. Every package in Kubuntu shares the same repositories as Ubuntu.
It is even possible to install KDE on Ubuntu to achieve a "Kubuntu". Otherway round Gnome can be installed on Kubuntu, so there's no real limitation according to the used desktop environment. Kubuntu comes with a preinstalled and preconfigured KDE and without Gnome.
