Blind vs. mainstream distros

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Red Hat is a company, so you may say something like Fedora is to Red Hat 
as Ubuntu is to Canonical. The difference though, as has already been 
pointed out, is that Ubuntu is a fork of Debian, whereas Fedora is a 
parent distribution itself and isn't forked from anything else.
