As any other freedom-loving geek, I was rather excited when I heard about the first beta release of Ubuntu 11.10, the next release of Ubuntu. This also meant that Kubuntu would have their first beta out as well. I figured that the 3 of you who read my blog would probably like to see a review of Ubuntu's less well known sibling.

I initially only installed Kubuntu in a VirtualBox virtual machine, but realised that without actually using it, this review wouldn't be worth it. So, not being averse to shiny new software, I decided to upgrade my desktop to Kubuntu 11.10 as well.
