Release of: Kubuntu Linux on CD

[James]

Released today on 8daysaweek.co.uk:
Kubuntu Linux v5.10 (Ubuntu Linux also available)



If "Linux" is something you've never heard of, if you know little about Linux or if you think that the Linux Operating System is confusing, then you will be pleasantly surprised by Kubuntu Linux.

Kubuntu is a user friendly operating system based on KDE, the K Desktop Environment.
It is the first Ubuntu derived distribution.


Kubuntu Linux has a Graphical User Interface or GUI (familiar to Windows users) and is easy to install and use. Another advantage of Kubuntu Linux is that it is Open Source, and includes a "Package Manager" that allows you to list all the (free) Open Source software available for Kubuntu Linux on the Internet and download and install it automatically!

This makes installing programs on Kubuntu Linux easier than installing software on a Windows Computer!

When installed, Kubuntu Linux already includes many programs, including OpenOffice.org.

What's available?

We have 2 Kubuntu CDs:


1. A "Live CD" which you can use on your computer, without changing any existing settings.
   Simply put the live CD into your CD drive and restart the computer.
   Kubuntu linux will load and you can try it out. Remove the CD, restart the computer and your usual Operating System (perhaps Windows?) will start up as usual, with nothing having been changed.
   NB. Kubuntu will probably run slower from a Live CD than when it is installed on your computer.
   
2. An "Install CD" (purchase both CDs at the same time to receive a discount).
   Installing Kubuntu is very easy. Put the CD into your CD drive and restart your computer, installation will start automatically and you are prompted for some information such as your location, a username and password etc. Installation takes approx. 30-60 minutes in total.

How do you pronounce "Linux"? Well, there are many theories, just search the web to see that! Linus Torvalds is the man who wrote the first Linux code and has recorded the way he pronounces Linux - you can download a sound file of this recording from the web. There are even varying opinions about the way Linus pronounces it after listening to the recording!

What's available?
Things have changed slightly with the release of v7.04 (Feisty Fawn), and we don't carry the Kubuntu produced CDs of all the versions available (all versions are available though, some are on CDs we produce ourselves - as previously), so even if you were familiar with earlier versions of Kubuntu, you may want to take note of the following:

There are 2 Kubuntu CDs:


1. Desktop CD
   Try Kubuntu on your computer, without changing any existing settings.
   Simply put the Desktop CD into your CD drive and restart the computer.
   Kubuntu linux will load and you can try it out. Remove the CD, restart the computer and your usual Operating System (perhaps Windows?) will start up as usual, with nothing having been changed.
   NB. Kubuntu will probably run much slower from a CD than when it is installed on your computer.
