Not trying to nitpick, but I thought that Fedora (which I've never used, had already switched away from Red Hat Linux to Debian) was still based on the RPM packaged developed by Red Hat and Ubuntu (by Canonical) was a downstream variant of Debian, using Debian's package management format.

You can see here that Debian pre-dates RedHat by about a year: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1b/Linux_Distribution_Timel...
