This is a pedantic difference, but it has to be stressed that it's just a different starting point, not an entirely different flavor. :) | |
| Jul 29, 2010 at 2:16 | comment | added | Nicholas Knight | @Broam: I meant "pretty much the same" in the sense that the user experience is not entirely consistent between them, not that there are fundamental under-the-hood differences. | |
| Jul 29, 2010 at 1:08 | comment | added | Broam | Nicholas: They don't work pretty much the same - they ARE Ubuntu. The flavors are nothing more than a different set of starting packages - it's the same stuff underneath. Sure, KDE is very different from GNOME but that's what tags are for. | |
| Jul 29, 2010 at 0:40 | comment | added | Nicholas Knight | Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu are all official Ubuntu versions, work pretty much the same, share the same community, and all or part of all of them can be running on a single Ubuntu installation simultaneously with unified package management and for many parts unified configuration and other integration. Splitting the community into little tiny pieces for each version just seems silly, and the branding reason doesn't even make sense. | |
