When I started with Kubuntu 6.06 LTS, I had no idea that Kubuntu was so NEW! I just found out, reading the article, and this table:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kubuntu
Not knowing anything about Linux in 2006, I thought Kubuntu had been around and well established. I was told to try it because it had a look-and-feel similar to XP, the OS I was using at the time. And, fact is, for me (on an Intel machine), 6.06 was great. Configuring my HP printer was the only thing that took a little research and tweaking (and now, of course, it's a no-brainer with hplip right there in your face and so well supported).
Hmmm, interesting. And so I was one of the first users?! Get outa here.

Wow. I started with Edgy Eft. I've been Kubuntu ever since.

Feisty Fawn was my first incursion, and last for a while, due to KDE 4 introduction
Picked it up again with 10.04 and never looked back.
Dual booting at the moment with SolydK which, IMHO, gives Kubuntu a real run for its money in terms of stability, looks and easy of updating.

For a short while I had been using Debian, I got there when making a permanent install off of a Knoppix disk.

But there were issues with it recognising HW and I read somewhere about this new Ububtu being about as good if not better at it than the venerable Knoppix.

Because I had been a KDE user since many years, mainly on Red Hat, it was only logic to try Kubuntu.
At the time it was still one of the official versions of Ubuntu/Canonical.

And yes, however good it was, at some point you need help and because Kubuntu got snowed under in the Ubuntu forum I came here.

I kicked off with Breezy Badger and was an instant convert. Congrats to all devs!!
