Ubuntu compatability, Linux

[Lycaone]

When a product says that's compatabile with Linux, does that also mean that's compatibile with Linux distributions (like Ubuntu) ?

Thanks in advance

It means nothing - it means that it runs on particular Linux distribution with particular kernels, versions of system libraries, etc. That's one of the reasons Linux apps are delivered either as .deb's, .rpm's (for particular Debian/Ubuntu/Redhat versions), or as a source tarball.

Thanks again for the help
