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 worked (I think it was FC3). Since that time, I have around fifteen 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.
