And no matter how superior Ubuntu becomes, Gentoo, Slackware, Red Hat, Fedora, and Debian are more important because they are the primal Linuxes. Everything else flows from them. They are the progenitors, and are essential.
Let's also remember non-Linux FOSS operating systems such as FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD. From these also come herds of wonderful things such as routers, firewalls, drivers, network stacks, and stout high-demand servers. (Take a look at the top servers on Netcraft.)

Bonne nouvelle pour les tenants des logiciels libres. La division antitrust du ministère de la Justice américain (Department of Justice) accède à la demande que l'Open Software Initiative (OSI) et la Free Software Foundation (FSF) leur avaient adressée en décembre 2010 concernant le devenir des brevets de Novell. Ce qui ne signifie pas que les deux organismes remportent l'adhésion du DoJ à leurs revendications mais que ce dernier est prêt à leur fournir une oreille attentive.
