What is the difference between these Linux?

What exactly is the difference among these Linux?


Kubuntu, Edubuntu and Xubuntu.

What is the difference between these Linux?
By default, Ubuntu is installed with Gnome as the desktop mgr, Kubuntu has KDE and Xubuntu has XFCE. Edubuntu is opimized for educational purposes. You can set up an K/X/Ubuntu install to have Gnome, KDE, and XFCE all installed, and any other desktop manager that you want as well.
Reply:You are obviously new to Linux, before you install it can I suggest that you get a couple of distros ( different versions of Linux) on what is known as a live CD. If you set your boot order in your BIOS to boot from CD and place the Linux CD in it will run your distro from the CD without altering your Windows install. This gives you the chance to play around with it and see which suits you best. Theres a guy advertises in Micro Mart magazine selling most versions on CD for about three quid. If you like one in particular yopu can then install it to dual boot with windows. Welcome to Linuxland, home of the penguin.

Reply:Are they different African languages? Kubuntu - sounds great, must get me some of that!
Reply:They are all based on ubuntu, and have slightly different interfaces/features. You can see the ubuntu site, it talks about the differences. I think edubuntu and xubuntu are still a work in progress (last time i checked) so if your thinking of going with one id recommend kubuntu - or just plain ubuntu, wich i think has the most support and stuff
