The reason for calling it Ubuntu over Ubuntu Linux was mainly for avoiding the whole Linux - GNU/Linux argument. It was also for simplicity and marketing reasons. The domain name of ubuntulinux.com was considered a mistake and corrected promptly. Interestingly, no-name-yet.com (the domain used for early development) still redirects to ubuntu.com!
