Today we are going to take a look at Kubuntu, a branch-off of the popular Ubuntu Linux operating system.
The first thing you'll notice in Kubuntu is the much more Windows 7 style "Aero theme". The whole of the system has a very glassy look, quite similar to the Windows system most people use. However, the resemblances stop here. KDE's desktop environment has no desktop icons or shortcuts. Instead, you rely on widgets (similar to Android) and an application launch drawer, again, similar to Android. Kubuntu also comes preloaded with its own suite of tools used for day to day operations, such as e-mail via Kontact. Kubuntu does, however, share the same terminal Ubuntu uses, except renamed to Konsole.
Konsole shares the same commands as the standard terminal. Lp to print, lpstat to get printer status.

mkdir creates a new folder, mv moves a file or folder (can also be used to rename files)
rm removes files, -r (recursive extension) is required to remove file directories
I'll edit this later...
