Here is a good description of all the major distros. Some things are WAY off (like Slack being based on bsd) but the rest it pretty good. I like this part a lot:
[Ubuntu] didn’t even exist (publicly) until October of 2004, and is already one of the very most popular distros. Almost everyone I know that runs Linux now uses it
Wooohooo..

Slackware isn't BASED on BSD, but they tried to make it very very close to BSD/UNIX in the way things work, so it's a reasonable mistake.

Well, the init scripts are modeled after BSD, which is probably where the mistake came from.

I guess it's based on the BSD system, as RedHat is based on the AT&T system, but it isn't derived from the same code.
Depends on how you mean "based on"

I said that ubuntu will rule the world :-P
Currently I keep my server running with TaoLinux a free-as-in-beer RedHat Enterprise Linux repackage, and for the most part use Ubuntu on the desktop. I’m not reccomending Tao or Ubuntu, but they seem to work best for my uses.
