So do we. If we used ubuntu, we'd be posting on their lists. And since you're using fedora anyway, just tell him to install fedora, that way you'll be speaking the same language. Also, I'm just speculating, because I haven't used ubuntu, but I doubt there is any compelling reason to choose one over the other. Maybe the best would be to recommend him the corresponding live cds to try for himself. It's Kubuntu for ubuntu, and for fedora I forget what it's called, but it was circulating on this mailing list not long ago.
