Ubuntu Pt. 1

 
Ubuntu is one of the most popular GNU/Linux distribution available, if not the most popular. Ubuntu, itself based on Debian, is the basis for a huge amount of distributions, which I will be covering in a multi-part post

1.
Kubuntu

Kubuntu is Ubuntu with the KDE desktop environment. I'm personally not a big fan of KDE but it's certainly not the worst DE in existence.

2. Edubuntu
Edubuntu is Ubuntu with a bunch of tools designed for use in education. It's aimed at users ages 6-18 and is intended for use in the classroom.

3. Xubuntu
Xubuntu is Ubuntu with the Xfce desktop environment. Xfce is my absolute favorite desktop environment; it's pretty lightweight, yet very full-featured. 

4. Lubuntu
Lubuntu is Ubuntu with the LXDE desktop environment. LXDE is very lightweight, and mainly aimed at lower-end computers with limited resources.
