Ubuntu is the whole distribution.
the default is a Gnome desktop ( ubuntu-desktop)
Kubuntu is Ubuntu with a KDE desktop ( kubuntu-desktop)
There is also xubuntu-desktop, which uses the xfce4 desktop environment.
Each "release" has a name. So far we have
Warty Warthog ( 4.10 ) released in October 2004 (hence 4.10 )
Hoary Hedgehog ( 5.04 ) released April 2005
Breezy Badger ( 5.10 ) - the current "stable " branch from October 2005
Dapper Drake ( 6.06 ) - currently in development, release June 1st
2006
The next version will be called Edgy Eft :-)
( Announcement hot off the press from Mark Shuttleworth)

First things first. The codename of Dapper+1 will be:
