Question #76186 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/76186

Tom proposed the following answer:
Linux distros neatly fall into about 8 main families; RedHat,
Debian(Ubuntu), openSUSE, Slackware and so on.  Although there are more
similarities than differences between the families there are some
differences even inside a family.

".rpm" stands for "RedHat Package Management"
".deb" is short for debian.  Ubuntu is in the debian family.
