I am not flaming, and did answer your question, though I could have given more context. I apologize for seeming brusque.
Ubuntu particularly is festooned with GUI configuration widgets that other Linux distributions don't have in common. It also tends to have its own "unique" ways of doing things in general, Ubuntu-specific guides are often needed for common configuration and installation tasks.
As an example, you configure Wordpress for Ubuntu in a completely different way. Ubuntu installs slightly-modified PHP files in an odd place, and separates the config files out into /etc/ for you. They even added a special commandline utility to create new Wordpress instances... I can see the utility, but they installed in a nonstandard place, didn't use Wordpress' own features when they could have, and hacked in their own methods instead... If you were following a generic guide you'd be lost.
Ubuntu does have its fans, but it still can be a problem to transition from Ubuntu to anything else and back.
