I can't think of anything else like Ubuntu. It's not even like most Linux.

The rest of those questions are too vague to give useful answers to unfortunately.

How the many, many different kinds of UNIX and Linux are alike is the environment they provide to application programmers. The Bourne shell and a clutter of standard utilities to use with it. The open() close() socket() system calls. Standard input and output streams for processes. Device files under /dev/. The standard C library. Filesystems with a root at / and other partitions mounted wherever appropriate instead of drive letters, etc, etc, etc.

How you manage these systems, though, can be very different.
