Why Kubuntu

When the MSG started(2007) we were running off of a few XP or XP Pro laptops. We were smart enough to avoid the plague called Vista.

We had a friend setup a linux file server which I must admit I never understood.

After that a friend Ray Fried from Washington State set us up to use a LAMP server and configured all of our computers to be Kubuntu dual Boot systems. He recommended Kubuntu because

1. He was familiar with it
2. It was very configurable
3. It was an easier change from Windows than Ubuntu

In the end it has been a good decision. We may go back to Ubuntu( in 20.04 ) for the following reasons.

1. It is the most widely used and therefore the most widely documented free OS
2. It is running Gnome and dumped Unity(Hallelujah)
3. I like KDE but am aching for more pain(change) in my life
