Is Ubuntu becoming the generic Linux distro?

[Scott (angrykeyboarder)]

Indeed it is.

When you consider how many "howtos" there are out there that only mention 
Ubuntu (when in fact the howto will usually work on any Debian-based 
distro - or any Linux distro, period) you know Ubuntu has become generic.

Let's just hope that everyone doesn't forget it's Ubuntu Linux, and not 
just "Ubuntu". Ubuntu could become a genericized trademark, which is not 
good for Canonical.
