It's not all that suprising. Ubuntu is doing the same with Linux brand -- they hide what the system actually is, perhaps in fear that people might recognize that there are other distributions and run off, or because Linux has bad publicity as geeky stuff.
- potatolicious 14y ago> "or because Linux has bad publicity as geeky stuff" No, more like Linux has bad publicity as obtuse and difficult - which it very often is with many other distros. Ubuntu is (intended to be) Linux that "just works". I don't think Canonical is afraid of "oh no Linux, nerds!", they're more likely afraid of "oh no Linux, like [insert other distro where you spend more time tweaking configs and compiling your kernel than using it]!"
