Linux is just the kernel. Ubuntu is a distribution of various softwares.
Sure it comes with the linux kernel, but it also includes various other
softwares. Saying 'ubuntu is linux', is equal to saying 'ubuntu is libbre
office' or 'ubutnu is gimp', after the distro includes all. A lot of those
softwares have windows versions too!.

an article in ToI few months back.
Ubuntu is very much a GNU/Linux distribution though they are noit
calling it "Ubuntu Linux", runs on Linux Kernal, and is born out of
Debian Linux. Above all, it is the most popular Linux Distribution as
of now, as well!

Hi all,
While looking around to suggest a book for beginners, I came across an
interesting book
Ubuntu: An Absolute Beginner?s
Guide<http://www.makeuseof.com/pages/ubuntu-an-absolute-beginners-guide
The
Book can be downloaded from the Link:
http://www.makeuseof.com/pages/ubuntu-an-absolute-beginners-guide
In that book, it is mentioned that
"*Contrary to common belief*:
Linux is not a corporation
? Nobody owns Linux
? * Ubuntu is not Linux*
Till Date, I am of the opinion that Ubuntu is one among the Linux
distributions.
Is it wrong?
Please clarify
