     "With Ubuntu we had the opportunity to make the first class
distribution that KDE deserves, in Kubuntu we have now done that" said
developer Jonathan Riddell.

     Ubuntu's founder Mark Shuttleworth commented "KDE is a profoundly
important part of the open source world - it's popular with both end
users and developers and is one of the key pieces in the battle for the
future of the desktop. I'm very excited to support this community effort
to get KDE into Ubuntu."
