There is only one type of Linux, since Linux is Linux, period. There are however various distributions, such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu which you have mentioned yourself, but also Slackware, Debian, CentOS, Mandriva, et cetera. See http://distrowatch.com for example for an overview of many of the available different Linux distributions. Ubuntu is the most popular Linux distribution out there really.
