"The Kubuntu distribution is a partner project of Ubuntu Linux. Designed for those who prefer KDE over GNOME, Kubuntu maintains the usual high development standards of its parent project, while providing users with the latest KDE packages throughout the distribution's release cycle. We caught up with Jonathan Riddell, the initiator and lead developer of Kubuntu."

Is it just me, or is there very little value to making another variant? I wouldn't mind if there were < 5, but I'm talking of at least 20 variants I know of!
I'm a bit of a linux n00b, but from what I've read, it's a bitch to have full-compatibility with all Linuxes - that seems ludicrous to me!

Just you. Some of us really like our (k)ubuntu.

Linux is just a kernel. Each distro is its own OS. And their are ways to make wonderful GUI installers for all distros, its just not easy so people don't do it.

When are you guys going to consolidate your technology?
Rather than constantly making *another* variant, make something that works out of the box and doesn't require any terminal work to be fully functional.
Yes, because all of the Linux developers in the world are reading your OSNews post :-P
