kubuntu 8.04 is LTS or not?

[melcataclysm]

Hi all
In my office I'm using a Kubuntu Dapper 6.06 that this month will not be supported anymore.
So I'm thinking of upgrading to 8.04 beacuse it has KDE 3.5, but what about long term support?
Kubuntu.org says that 8.04 will be manteined untill this october, but the repositories are the same of Ubuntu, so what exactly will be supported? Only KDE environement?

Thanks!

Pretty simple. Install Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, go to Synaptic Package manager, search for KDE and install. When you boot and login, go to 'sessions' and choose KDE. Make this your default session and you're good to go. You can also load

kubuntu-desktop

... from synaptics and that should give you the apps. But this will be sitting on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS; you are just using KDE desktop manager/environment, not a full Kubuntu install as such.

You might like to try some other desktop environments while you're at it like Xfce, Openbox. There are many. Just choose the session you fancy from 'Sessions' at login. All my machines are 'hybrid' like this; I love it! Makes Linux/Ubuntu even more customisable.
