DPKG is the software at the base of the package management system in the free operating system Debian and its derivatives. It is currently used to install, remove, and provide information about Debian packages; eventually, it will be used to manage any kind of binary or source package. It was first released as a separate program (dpkg) alongside the old .deb packaging format to enable it to run on non-Debian systems, but has since become an integral part of .deb processing.
The Kubuntu distribution is a spin-off from Ubuntu, which aims to create a new user-friendly desktop system using the Linux operating system. Kubuntu comes with the KDE Plasma Desktop Environment installed by default and provides users with similar functionality and visual appearance (a 'look-and-feel') to other current popular operating systems such as Windows XP and Apple's Mac OS X.
