Ubuntu Commitment to Kubuntu and KDE

The Ubuntu Below
Zero conference is in full momentum this week and Kubuntu has been
prominent throughout. In his opening remarks at the start of the
conference Ubuntu founder Mark Shuttleworth announced that he was now using Kubuntu on his desktop machine and
said he wanted Kubuntu to
move to a first class distribution within the Ubuntu community. The
large number of Kubuntu users at the conference was evidence as the
need for this. Free CDs for Kubuntu through shipit should be
available for the next release if the planned Live CD Installer
removes the need for a separate install CD.
