I recently moved from Slackware to Fedora 7 (like a couple of months ago), as a result I got a very stable Fedora 7. I'm seriously thinking about Ubuntu for the reasons you outline but Ubuntu is just 'too GUI' for me in many ways. Fedora is in a good place for me as regards what it provides but it would be nice to have a slightly less hectic life (version). -- Chris Green
