    I mean, LMDE is working out pretty nuke proof for my (humble) gaming rig.

    Kubuntu for modern systems, Xubuntu for older systems, Lubuntu for older, low-end systems with limited RAM, Ubuntu server for headless servers.

    Stay mad, Ubuntu haters.

        It depends on the desktop environment.

        Ubuntu is the base version and uses GNOME.

        Ubuntu + KDE (the most superior of all DEs) = Kubuntu

        Ubuntu + XFCE = Xubuntu

            I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Gubuntu, is in fact, Gnome/Ubuntu, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNUbuntu. Ubuntu is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning Gnome system made useful by the Gnome libs, utilities and vital system apps comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the Gnome system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of Gnome which is widely used today is often called GNUbuntu, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the Gnome system, developed by the Gnome Project.

            There really is a Ununtu, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Ubuntu is like he kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run.

            The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the Gnome desktop system: the whole system is basically GNU with Ubuntu added, or GNUbuntu. All the so-called Ununtu distributions are really distributions of GNUbuntu!
