LINQ is a basic feature added to C#, there is no way they took it out in 4.0. According to google there is a thing called Linq to Entities, so I guess that means they are different things. Looks like there's tons of info on both, if you google them.

LINQ to SQL is largely SQL Server only, not so much by design as by implementation. The EF is designed to support, and does support, multiple DBs, if you have a compatible ADO.NET provider.

LINQ is not 100% ORM and it's purpose is deal with all kind of stuffs, where entity framework targets only database
