Not much. It's just Linux at the end of the day. We use Debian as
our cluster OS, and all kubuntu is is a slightly tarted up version of
Debian with better graphics hardware support. Debian actually lends
itself to cluster use just fine, and includes a lot of useful cluster
software (especially in the upcoming "lenny" release, due in
September, which I note will have a Lustre 1.6.x client package as
part of the standard distribution)
