So custom tailoring the base to fit a certain need/environment is referred to as being derived from Ubuntu itself.

They actually share the repos with the Ubuntu and the default install is custom tailored to their needs (Edubuntu) or desktop environment/window manager (Xubuntu and Kubuntu). There are also a few other derivatives you may wish to list, such as MEPIS Linux, gNewSense, and Linux Mint. I believe that MEPIS Linux is the best distribution for beginners.
