A Carafe of Ubuntu
So after being involved with Linux for a month or two now, I have a question.
What is the hierarchy that these operating systems are based on?
Example
There's 1) Unix, which was developed to 2) Linux, which 3) Debian came from, which 4) Ubuntu is based on.
Am I right? And if so, what are the options in each hierarchy and what are the differences between them?

Linux wasn't exactly "developed from" UNIX; it was heavily inspired by it, and is just a kernel.
The standard is called FHS (Filesystem Hierarchy Standard).

well...not exactly
you'll get much more useful info by searching for "history of Linux" or so, then by asking here....

There are a few diagrams about the history of linux on the internet. This is one of the better ones I've found.
