I am sorry about this. Canonical did treat Kubuntu as though it was 
higher (which it was in my opinion) than any other Ubuntu derivative. In 
my opinion, Kubuntu is the best Linux distribution that uses KDE by 
default. KDE in my opinion is beautiful, and with the OS X Lion default 
space wallpaper, it looks as attractive as OS X Lion. No other desktop 
environment (or distribution) is as beautiful as KDE or Kubuntu either.
