Switching to Kubuntu from other Linux distributions

SwitchingToUbuntu describes Ubuntu's use of sudo (which is handy, but somewhat jarring to those familiar with Linux and Unix) in place of root console. This is very helpful, but to someone who is coming to Ubuntu from another Linux distribution it's quite easy to get lost. Having information relevant to longtime RPM-distro users would be great.

Distributions

Alternative Distros
