    Ubuntu or Kubuntu?

    I've always thought that I'm running Kubuntu and not Ubuntu. The initial banners indicate that I am. But:
    Code:
    pwa@pwa-K60IJ:~$ cat /etc/lsb-release 
    DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
    DISTRIB_RELEASE=10.10
    DISTRIB_CODENAME=maverick
    DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 10.10"
    Is the fact that lsb-release indicates Ubuntu just an artifact or does it indicate some inconsistency with my configuration?

    Whether Ubuntu or Kubuntu (or any *buntu), the OS is Ubuntu. There is no "Kubuntu" kernel. It's the desktop environment one chooses to use/install that makes it (U)buntu, (K)ubuntu, (X)ubuntu, ...
    Windows no longer obstructs my view.
    Using Kubuntu Linux since March 23, 2007.
