Linux distributions, and even versions of Ubuntu itself, are not organized in a "tier" layout, where Tier N has X more features than Tier N - 1, or Tier N's features have X more capacity.
Linux distros and Ubuntu versions, on the other hand, are organized horizontally: They don't have better features (per se), but different features.
