Kubuntu 7.10 was released today. Many improvements have been made over the last release. Some that we noticed were, improved hardware and driver support, 3D Desktop graphics, and integrated desktop search.

Kubuntu is really just Ubuntu with the KDE interface instead of Gnome. It is not hard to turn Ubuntu into Kubuntu all that is needed is KDE packages from Kubuntu.org.

New Features in Kubuntu 7.10:

• KDE 3.5.8 - new default desktop manager
• Dolphin is the now the default file manager.
• The enterprise version of personal information manager Kontact is available.

The greatest part of this update is Kubuntu now looks and feels more like Windows than Ubuntu. We also like the default blue background better than Ubuntu’s orange and brown scheme.
