Unless something has changed from 1/2 year ago, it is 18 Months from 
release of 8.04 (= April '08) for the KDE 3.5.9 part which makes it 1 
year from now.

That was which version? I haven't seen an official page mentioning long 
term support for Kubuntu 8.04. Ubuntu 8.04 is LTS but not Kubuntu 8.04. 
Both share a lot of packages but not the desktop which is KDE for Kubuntu 
and Gnome for Ubuntu. Therefore even _some_ parts of Kubuntu 8.04 will be 
supported longer just not the KDE parts.

Make that 12 month, but anyway you can select another desktop with LTS 
support, i.e. Gnome or Xfce. Or if you really depend on KDE3 you would 
have to use another distribution with longer support for KDE3 (I don't 
know if that exists).
