What is the difference between flavour & distribution.

Hi All,

Can anyone tell me the difference between flavour & distribution?

As we say that - AIX, Linux, Solaris etc are the flavours of Unix & fedora, ubuntu, suse etc are the distributions of linux.

Can anyone explain me, why it is called so.

Thanks in advance.

Amol
