Is Linux and ubuntu the same?

Yes and no.Yes in the sense that Ubuntu is just like any other Linux distribution. It *is* a Linux distribution. So to say that Ubuntu is not Linux is inaccurate.It's NOT the same as Linux in that Ubuntu is a DISTRIBUTION of Linux, not the Linux operating system itself. The Linux operating system, as I like to define it, is the kernel, the drivers, and the kernelspace it provides.I have often seen more and more Ubuntu users who seem to not recognize the relationship of Ubuntu and Linux. The only other Linux "sphere" worse in this regard in recognizing that it is Linux is Android, also Linux, but between how Google markets it and the kind of userspace it has so many people don't often recognize Android as Linux either. Short answer is that Ubuntu is Linux. As is Arch, Red Hat, SuSE, Fedora, Gentoo, Android, WebOS, your router firmware, Tivo firmware, or Debian.
