Ubuntu and Kubuntu are the same except for the desktop environment they 
use, so you can have both installed at the same time. No need to dual boot
The easiest (and recommended) way is to open up Synaptic and install 
"kubuntu-desktop". That will install everything you would get in a fresh 
Kubuntu install. Once that's done, you'll be able to choose between a 
KDE session or a Gnome session at the login screen, either KDM or GDM 
(You'll be able to choose which you want to use)
That's all you need for a full Kubuntu install, enjoy :)
