Bug Description

Although Ubuntu, Kubunutu, and Xubuntu all say what they are on their respective websites, there is no official explanation of the differences and comparison with screenshots. I just helped out another user who was confused about the difference and i remember being confused myself when i first tried out Ubuntu. Having a page like this could help out new users very much.

Hello,

As I know there is simply one difference between them. It is their desktop environment. Ubuntu uses Gnome, Kubuntu uses KDE, Xubuntu uses XFCE. Does not this information is enough for users?
