"Obican" Ubuntu:
Ubuntu is a complete desktop Linux operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. The Ubuntu community is built on the ideas enshrined in the Ubuntu Manifesto: that software should be available free of charge, that software tools should be usable by people in their local language and despite any disabilities, and that people should have the freedom to customise and alter their software in whatever way they see fit. "Ubuntu" is an ancient African word, meaning "humanity to others". The Ubuntu distribution brings the spirit of Ubuntu to the software world.
Kubuntu:
Kubuntu is an Ubuntu-derived distribution. The Kubuntu CDs are made up of Ubuntu's base plus KDE. You can get exactly the same effect by installing Ubuntu and adding the KDE packages from the Ubuntu archives.
Edubuntu:
Edubuntu is a partner project of Ubuntu Linux, a distribution suitable for classroom use. The aim is that an educator with limited technical knowledge and skill will be able to set up a computer lab, or establish an on-line learning environment, in an hour or less, and then administer that environment without having to become a fully-fledged Linux geek.

Jos dve napomene: mozda ce ti, iako si 'obican korisnik', neki od programa koji koristis nedostajati u Linuxu. On uglavnom ima zamene, ali ne bas sve i nisu bas sve 100% identicne programima iz Windowsa. Nisi pitao jos za jednu distribuciju, koja je skoro 100% Ubuntu, samo jos laksa za instalaciju i vec ima podesene neke stvari, koje se kod "obicnog" Ubuntu mora naknadno podesavati, a to je Mint. Ukoliko se odlucis za njega, treba uzeti tzv. Main edition iz sledece grupe:
Linux Mint 4.0 Daryna
http://www.linuxmint.com/download.php:
XFCE Community Edition BETA 008,
miniKDE Edition
Main Edition
Light Edition
KDE Community Edition
Fluxbox Community Edition BETA 028
Debian Edition ALPHA 023
Kao sto vidis - jos vise edicija! To uvek ima negde objasnjeno, na p;ocetnom web sajtu svake od njih, a njalakse ih je naci preko vec spomenutog distrowatch-a.
