See, now this is one of the major differences between Red Hat and   
Canonical right now. You can bet that if it were Ubuntu on those   
systems, that news would be plastered all over the place. Even a more   
in-depth article on the matter doesn't mention what distribution   
they're using:

Since I don't see it mentioned anywhere, I'll withhold any *cough*   
"guesses" as to what they're actually running. 

Okay, no I won't.
