[James Diehl]

It's not a shell called Ubuntu.  In the synaptic pkg. mgr., if you switch to status mode, at the end of the line for each item under installed version/latest version, it will say Ubuntu or whatever.  If you open the tabs in the lower box, you can get a description and explanation for the items.
