The Ubuntu Linux distribution is based on, or derived from, the stable, mature, and well-tested Debian Linux distribution.

So, Ubuntu Linux is considered to be "Debian-based".

The Debian Project Created Debain - And Ubuntu Linux Is Based On Debian

The individuals in the Debian Project created the Debian GNU / Linux distribution, commonly known as just Debian. And Debian Linux uses many GNU / Linux software components created by

the GNU Project, such as the GNU commands

The Debian Linux distribution is well-known for its strict policy of using only free and open source software (FOSS). And so it is considered by some to be a "pure" distribution of Linux.

The Debian Linux web site says: "Debian is so committed to free software that we thought it would be useful if that commitment was formalized in a written document. Thus, our Social Contract was born.

Although Debian believes in free software, there are cases where people want or need to put non-free software on their machine. Whenever possible Debian will support this. There are even a growing number of packages whose sole job is to install non-free software into a Debian system."
