OK - I did use the live CD when it first came out, to see if it was a good gnome based alternative to knoppix for a live CD - it wasn't. At least not then. Why use Fedora? I like it. 3 year support cycle sounds attractive - but to be honest, Linux software is moving at a rate the updating every year or so is highly recommended - at least for the desktop. The new stuff introduced is just worth it, and upgrading is generally pretty painless (especially if /home is a separate partition). I've no doubt that Ubuntu is a fine distribution - but Fedora is an excellent distribution as well. For 100% community based project - check out Fedora Extras - which is continuing to grow at a very rapid rate, and absorbing some packages from Core as Core is slimmed down.
