The various flavours of Ubuntu try to make its installation and operation as
easy as possible for the beginner. This is probably a good thing, in my
opinion.

Also, what is the reason for the various different names for Ubuntu?

Ubuntu uses the Gnome desktop, Kubuntu uses kde, and so on.

(Five years ago or so, when I installed Debian, I subscribed to the
Linux
Journal, read the various linux groups, and was fairly up-to-date on
linux, but I've been totally ignoring all that for years now, and am
completely out of touch with how things have changed.)

You'll be /very/ pleasantly surprised!

I'm surprised at the low volume of traffic on this newsgroup...would it
be a good idea to resubmit this query to the "misc" sub-group...it
appears to have a higher volume.

There now appears to be much more traffic in the distro-specific groups.
