Although I could be wrong: They are essentially the same except Xubuntu is a low memory version and Kubuntu uses KDE.
ubuntu uses gnome, kubuntu uses KDE and Xubuntu uses Xfce.
There aren't that much more differences between them other than maybe some applications.
Just the default Desktop environment. Once you've got say Ubuntu installed, you can even do [b]sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop[/b] or [b]sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop[/b] and try out the others.
what are actually the differences between KDE, Xfce and Gnome?

Detailed chart explaining your question :v:
thanks
KDE is prettier than gnome but slower, and XFCE is faster but less user friendly
I could never use XFCE for daily use... it's just not my cup of tea.
I prefer GNOME; it's very user friendly and has a nice look to it.

I personally find KDE's default windows to be hideous.
I think KDE is way over done. I simply didn't care for XFCE and GNOME is what I prefer.
