KUbuntu是基于Ubuntu的发行。Kubuntu光盘在Ubuntu的基础上增加了KDE。如果你安装Ubuntu并且从Ubuntu档案库中增加KDE,你将获得完全相同的效果。

Mythbuntu是一份基于Ubuntu的发行,它是一张自启动运行光盘,着眼于构建一份单独的MythTV系统,这与KnoppMyth或Mythdora类似。它可以被用于安装一份独立的前端或后端或组合机器。Mythbuntu采用Xfce作为缺省桌面,它提供一份图形化的控制中心来配置系统。
Mythbuntu 9.04, a distribution designed for home theatre systems and featuring MythTV, has been released: “After a long and exciting development cycle the Mythbuntu team is proud to introduce Mythbuntu 9.04.

XUbuntu是一份基于Ubuntu的Linux发行。然而与Ubuntu不同的是,Xubuntu采用轻量级的XFce桌面环境,并面向低端机器作了优化。该发行尽可能地只包含GTK+应用软件。
