I found that Fedora was a bit too unstable (things breaking after updates), and that updates were large and common. For that reason and the codecs issue, whenever I erase someone's XP I install Ubuntu (and I refuse to install dual boot systems). In Ubuntu one can OK OK OK his way to a playing MP3, a streaming video, or a Java install. That said, Ubuntu feels like a toy OS. Apt-get does not tell what versions it's installing, and the whole system reeks of idiot-proofness. And that's with KDE! The online forum and mailing list is more for MS bashing than problem solving. While I think that there is a need for that type of distro, I'm sometimes a bit embarased that I'm using it. So I always keep Fedora on at least one machine, like a summer house that I know is waiting for me. Even if I don't get there every day.
