Bug Description

https://insights.ubuntu.com/2014/07/07/ubuntu-and-open-source-help-the-city-of-munich-save-millions/ makes a number of references to Ubuntu when, in fact, LiMux is based on Kubuntu, so all the Ubuntu references should really be Kubuntu. I'm filing a bug, since I'm sure no one meant to be misleading.

While Kubuntu would be more specific, isn't Kubuntu also Ubuntu?

Kubuntu is part of the Ubuntu project and distributed within the Ubuntu Linux
distribution, it is not Ubuntu (the desktop) which is what the article
implies. So, in one sense yes, but not in the sense used in the article.

After speaking with Jordana, I have changed the text to say;

"The first iteration of the project saw Debian deployed in 2006. But a more predictable update cycle was required and, with a policy of tendering for new hardware suppliers every four years, the promise of ongoing support for a wider range of devices. So, in 2009, the city switched to Kubuntu, a flavour of Ubuntu."

Thank you. That resolves it from my perspective.
