I first started dabbling with Linux about three years ago. The way I
ended up using Fedora was it was the first link I clicked on that

machines running it. All of them run FC8 except my laptop which, as of
yesterday, is running the beta of FC9.
With that said, I have never seen any other version of Linux running
except Fedora. What’s all the hype around Ubuntu? I realize I could
download an install a copy but I never really saw any reason to since
FCx seems to work great.
I’m not trying to start a battle of which is better…just trying to get
an idea of why its seems so popular.
Thanks!

Fedora: here's a box opener, have fun! If you cut yourself, we might
have some spare bandages - ask on the mailing list.
Ubuntu: here's a pair of safety scissors, enjoy! In the unlikely even
that you cut yourself, there's a full-service hospital at ubuntuforums.org
That's the way I see it, anyway :)
Ubuntu is more suited for getting the hell out of user's way & making
things safer/easier. Sometimes, that shtick means long time between
updates.. which is why I moved to Fedora. It's not that I like living on
the edge - it's just that I have a choice of whether or not I want to
update to latest versions/etc.
