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. 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.

"Its getting the attention it deserves in my opinion.
I just hope Jonathon is finally getting paid, along with the other major contributors to Kubuntu, they truly deserve it. In my opinion, they are doing more work than the GNOME folks at Ubuntu. Ubuntu's GNOME is very much the same as mainstream, Kubuntu's KDE is FAR different in many ways! "
Well, I completely agree J deserves a salary -- Kubuntu has a lot going for it. However, it does have some strikes against it in my book, as I mentioned in my other post. I also dislike the new default Knoqueror, and haven't figured out how to get "Go" or "Window" back yet - I haven't really looked either, so it may be more simple than it seems.
I like and use Kubuntu, and really hope they work on ironing out existing bugs rather than making a headlong rush towards the newest bleeding edge crap for the next release (actually, this goes for ubuntu as well). Shipping a product with hal broken OOTB is badbadbad IMO.
