Ubuntu on Windows

I'm confused what has this list:

apt, ssh, rsync, find, grep, awk, sed, sort, xargs, md5sum, gpg, curl, wget, apache, mysql, python, perl, ruby, php, gcc, tar, vim, emacs, diff, patch...

to do with Ubuntu?

They are programs which are included in the Ubuntu distribution.

Ubuntu ate Linux (or GNU/Linux), as it seems, for the mainstream world.

I hate it. I bet Stallman, Ken Thomson, the GNU Project, Bell Labs and many others are crying and laughing at the same time.

We live in a world built upon the previous one, as the previous was already was. Some things we forget, others become lore, folklore, myths, and others are lost... It is similar to Facebook providing Internet. Or Dropbox providing 'rsync'. Maybe one day the common man will rediscover plaintext and the command line interface. And the then hipsters will use it.

And OS X, and BSD, and OS2 and AmigaOS and probably one million other OSses.

Strictly speaking: none of those commands were "included in the distribution" when it came to OS/2. There were of course ports of those commands to OS/2, which one could install. But none of those came in the box.

I believe that that was also true for AmigaDOS, even the post-Commodore versions, but I don't have the firsthand knowledge to state it unequivocally.
