Shuttleworth Affirms Commitment to Kubuntu
==========================================

   In some good news for KDE, Mark Shuttleworth
[http://www.markshuttleworth.com/], the famous African entrepreneur,
announced at the Ubuntu Below Zero conference
[http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBelowZero] that he is now using the 
Kubuntu [http://www.kubuntu.org/] distribution (screenshots
[http://shots.osdir.com/slideshows/slideshow.php?release=466&slide=8&title=kubuntu+5.10+rc+screenshots])
on his own desktop machine and affirmed his commitment
[http://www.kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-commitment.php] to the
KDE-based distribution.   As per the website, "Kubuntu is a user
friendly operating system based on KDE, the K Desktop Environment. With
a predictable 6 month release cycle part of the Ubuntu project, Kubuntu
is the GNU/Linux distribution for everyone."  Kubuntu has apparently
been prominent throughout the conference with a large number of Kubuntu
users having shown up. As a first class Ubuntu citizen, CD copies of
Kubuntu will be freely available to users. Congratulations to the
Kubuntu team [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KubuntuPeople] for their
dedication and hard work in bringing the KDE desktop to Ubuntu
[http://www.ubuntu.com/]!
