<p>
Kubuntu is a free, user-friendly operating system based on the K Desktop
Environment and on the award winning Ubuntu operating system. With a biannual
release cycle and at least 18 months of free security updates for each release,
it is the secure, stable computing environment you've been waiting for. Its
community-driven development and pervasive availability are grounded in the
concept of "humanity to others."
</p>
<p>
Kubuntu is not possible without its community, because its projects are
designed, created, and implemented by a diverse community of users. Individuals
and teams provide the code, artwork, documentation, and technical assistance in
addition to promoting Kubuntu to a wider audience. To read more about how to
contribute please view the <a href=
"https://wiki.kubuntu.org/HelpingKubuntu/">Helping Kubuntu</a> page.
</p>
<p>
The Kubuntu and Ubuntu projects are sponsored by Canonical Ltd, the leading
global provider of free Linux software. Canonical provides full commercial
support for Kubuntu and Ubuntu.
