I installed it on my Mum's old PC, which is currently being used as a 'playground' PC, ie one that I can mess around with. :) It's a Linux distribution, based on the Ubuntu fork of Debian GNU/Linux, but unlike Ubuntu which uses the GNOME (GNU Network Object Model Environment) interface Kubuntu uses KDE (K Desktop Environment). It's really cool -- you can download and run a Live CD version of both to check them out. Once when my main XP hard drive died I used a Ubuntu live CD as my main OS for about a week.
