The main difference is that each uses a different Desktop Manager... Ubuntu uses Unity, Xubuntu has XFCE, Lubuntu works with LXDE, Kubuntu has KDE... In the end it's down to personal taste or what your computer is happy working with, some lighter weight machines will happily use XFCE and LXDE where the higher spec computers will make use of KDE and Unity a lot more with the 3D effects...
Oh, ok thanks for asking my question.
If you are currently running the Ubuntu-desktop (Unity) you can easily install the different desktops and see for yourself.
To install Xubuntu-desktop:
To install Lubuntu-desktop:Code:sudo apt-get install xfce4 xfce4-goodies
And you didnt mention Gnome_Classic. Its the old style desktop of 10.04 days (for those of us that know change is badCode:sudo apt-get install lxde
You can choose which desktop to run at boot (login).Code:sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback

More info on desktop environments here.
Edubuntu comes with many education related packages installed, and it uses Gnome.
ok, if i do that how can I get back to my ubuntu. Because I have made my own theme.
If you add various desktops to your Ubuntu install, the way to change between them is at the login screen.
In the login screen in the box where your name and password go, is a little cog/ubuntu logo or something, click on it and select the different desktop environment/window manager you'd like to use.

Don't mind me, I'm only passing through.
Once in a blue moon, I'm actually helpful.
ok thanks everyone.
If you would like to preview the various desktops first (rather then actually install them all) you can download isos for each one and run them in "live session" to see what they look like and if you find one that you prefer over standard ubuntu w/unity then you could either add it (as described above) or re-install the preferred desktop version (using the live iso session) over what you have now...
There is a good intro to what a DE is on the Mint forums...
