Welcome to Kubuntu 6.06.1 LTS: the Dapper Drake Release.

Kubuntu is a user friendly operating system based on KDE, the K Desktop Environment. With a predictable 6 month release cycle as part of the Ubuntu project, Kubuntu is the GNU/Linux distribution for everyone.

The team behind Kubuntu makes the following commitment to its users:

Kubuntu includes more than 1,000 pieces of software, starting with Linux version 2.6.15 and KDE 3.5.2, and covering every standard desktop application from word processing and spreadsheet to Internet access applications, web server software, email software, programming languages and tools, and of course, several games.
