Ubuntu Linux is one of a number of different flavors of the Linux operating system. The various different brands of Linux are generally known as ''Linux Distributions'' (usually shortened to ''Linux Distros'' by Linux experts). In terms of the history of Linux, Ubuntu is something of a newcomer. In the relatively short period of time that it has been available, however, Ubuntu has rapidly gained the respect of both experienced and novice Linux users throughout the world.
