submitting changes to kubuntu-docs>about-kubuntu

[Nitesh Mistry]

Hello all,

I recently reviewed the about-kubuntu section of kubuntu docs. I am
attaching a diff file containing changes that I deemed appropriate.
Changes are to the content only. They are:

1. minor modifications to the language to bring about uniformity

2. changed a line where it says that kernel is required for "free"
operating systems

The changes are vis-a-vis version 178.

Hope the changes are acceptable.
