Kubuntu is Ubuntu + KDE. Ubuntu is a rad desktop, but also a rocking server. If you've used Debian on your server before, you'll grok why straight away (plus you get a new release every 6 months, 18 months of security + bugfix support, etc). If you haven't... You're missing out. :-) > Does it recognise internal modems and external modems for that matter?

But in general, if you have serial ports, Ubuntu will always make them available.
