Re: article idea: Fedora for Ubuntu users

Hi,

I think one of the differences to explain is how the updates and upgrades
work.  Ubuntu has a strict schedule compared to Debian (its mother distro)
and Fedora.  They have LTS  (Fedora doesn't)  and  "normal" upgrades.
I've seen many people getting confused with this, often understanding that
Fedora is unstable because it has no LTS.  Maybe we could explain how
Fedora updates work and why this doesn't mean that is unstable, but just
things have organised in a different way?

My two cents,
