You are correct - Linux is the kernel.  Period.

A "distro" is a particular Linux-based distribution of a complete
system - kernel + standard system commands "required" to run Linux on
a machine (mostly from GNU/FSF) + usually now one or more graphical
desktop manager (typically GNOME or KDE, but there are many others,
too) + whatever other options the distro happens to include (server
packages, development packages, and many, many, many more).

Distros include Ubuntu, Debian, Mandriva, Red Hat, CentOS, Fedora,
Mint, Slackware, SCO, Gentoo, Novell/SuSE and so on.  Each one has its
own particular bent and/or flavor, so pick one you like and go with
it.
