Ubuntu; apparently, a Linux apart from Linux

When I decided to start a blog and write about Linux, I never thought that I would see this. Since this surprised me somewhat, I decided to share it.

Some minutes ago I remembered that I could check how many views I got, did so, and noticed some strange data in Pageviews by Operating Systems part of the stats page. This:



As you can see, Ubuntu stands apart from Linux. Android, I can understand; but Ubuntu? Really?

Now, I must say that I've no idea if this situation is exlusive to Google or can be encountered with other analytics systems too. So; I ask you, do you see this with Wordpress and the others?

  1. Statpress for Wordpress does the same thing. AWStats does not.

  2. It's likely that Ubuntu is singled out because it is the most popular desktop GNU/Linux OS around so far as anybody can figure out and Canonical are branching out into mobile devices.

    I notice that MeeGo is also singled out. Which incidentally is also a Linux OS designed for mobile devices.
