Hi Roy,

Your question is actually specific to Kubuntu not KDE, so you should really 
check http://www.kubuntu.org. 

You will probably want to read this section in particular:

http://doc.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/desktopguide/C/add-applications.html

KDE is just a desktop environment that Kubuntu is based on. The Kubuntu people 
have written their own package/application installation/management system 
that is completely separate from KDE. You will find that each distribution 
uses a different package manager.

Hope this helps,

Marek Wawrzyczny
