Kubuntu linux is a variant of Ubuntu that uses the KDE desktop environment instead of Gnome.
The KDE desktopcan be installed on Ubuntu easily, however.
The quickest way to run a command on Ubuntu or Kubuntu is to use the Alt+F2 shortcut key.
Using the Options button gives you a number of other interesting options.
On Ubuntu this doesn’t seem to work right, but in Kubuntu or KDE this is really useful.
Another neat feature is that the Run Command remembers the parameters for each command.
In the last command we typed ‘ls -l’ and checked the “run in terminal window” box.
