Another leading UNIX and Linux desktop is <ulink url="http://www.kde.org/">KDE</ulink>. The <ulink url="http://www.kubuntu.org">Kubuntu</ulink> project offers Ubuntu users an alternative choice to the default GNOME desktop environment. Thanks to the efforts of the Kubuntu team, Ubuntu users are now able to install and use the KDE desktop easily on their system. To get a working install of Kubuntu on an Ubuntu install, install the <application> kubuntu-desktop</application> package. Once kubuntu-desktop is installed, one can choose to use either a Gnome or KDE desktop environment.

The Ubuntu version numbering scheme is based on the date we release a version of the distribution. The version number comes from the year and month of the release rather than reflecting the actual version of the software. Our first release (Warty Warthog) was in October 2004 so its version was 4.10. This version (Dapper Drake) was released in June 2006 so its version number is 6.06 LTS.
