[SOLVED] Is Zorin OS transforming to Ubuntu?

I know Zorin is based on Ubuntu. However, when performing updates, I have noticed Zorin logos are being replaced with Ubuntu logos when updates are performed.

Example #1:

Example #2:
http://www.zoringroup.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2422

Example #3:
I just did an update today. In a terminal, I typed lsb_release -a and got the following:

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
Release: 12.04
Codename: precise


Before the update it was displaying:

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Zorin
Description: Zorin OS 6
Release: 6
Codename: precise



Should I be saying no to certain updates?

wolfman@fred:~$ lsb_release -a

The logos still change if I perform an update. The Ubuntu logos bug me a little bit so if I notice that it has been changed and I have a spare minute I will go and change them back to the Zorin logo.

I am using Zorin OS 6 Core (free download) 64-bit on a 64 bit machine.

As far as my software source settings, I am not sure what all this means but I did this command in a terminal:


user@zorin:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list

Hi spavila,

that is just the list of the PPA's which are available to you on your system.

Take a look at the software sources settings here:

I just did a clean install of Zorin OS 6 64-bit. After the succesful install, I opened a terminal and typed sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade. I was prompted with the following (see below).

When the prompt for '/etc/lsb-release' came up; this time I said NO.

Now when I go into a terminal and type lsb_release -a; I get

user@zorin:~$ lsb_release -a

Yes. Sorry about the confusion. This started as just a chat about Zorin topic for me; then I may have posted a similar question in Help and Support. Also, I see that you have moved it to Help and Support.

If you want, you can mark this as SOLVED.
