Although its a bit late for this review,because a new version of Kubuntu has already been released,I will go ahead with it. Well, Kubuntu 7.04 Fiesty Fawn,which we are using as the base OS in our company, for all development is, amazingly powerful and dreadfully easy operating system.
It comes bundled up with some beautiful KDE software in its bundle.A Kubuntu experience is what I can call as truely out of the box.Everything just works very very smoothly.The installation requires even less brain than any version of windows ,click a few next buttons after you start a Live CD and then just let the Kubuntu do the rest.It takes about 30 mins for the full installation after which you restart the system.
Well, what follows is a breathtaking experience.It detects each and every device instantly,configures internet for me without moving a muscle.Package management was never better than this version of Adept manager and its just works as if it is made to end windows once and for all.
I gave it to all my employees who have used windows for all their lives and they decided to use this Kubuntu forever after their experience.They told is it Linux and we always thought it was rocket science and this thingĀ is simpler than baking a bread.
Thats the reason we have embraced it as the desktop OS our company.Everybody just loves it. We are looking forward to upgrading it to Gutsy Gibbon soon.
