Do what you feel is best. I have some qualms with how Ubuntu runs
their distro, but I doubt they are shared by many. By all indications,
Ubuntu is a better desktop distribution than Fedora.
I applaud RedHat for their focus, and would like to list some of the
reasons that I use Fedora and not Ubuntu
* I started linux with RedHat, they made a lot possible for me
I started with the MCC "four floppy" distribution, then SLS, then
Slackware, and came to RH because I was working on machine with RH. And
there I stayed from about 6.0 to present Fedora.
* I like RedHat as a company
I have a major stake in Redhat (major part of my money, not theirs) ;')
* I like Fedora as a community
Agree, but that's somewhat changing as the Fedora goals change.
* I like the idea of pure OSS software, even though i do install
Flash, Nvidia drivers etc
I have no problem getting the things I need, and many machines run a
pure FC install.
* I believe a lot of work gets done in Fedora, although sometimes it
seems like there is no specific objective in mind
Well said.
* I feel that there are far more jerks/iditos/annoyances in the
Ubuntu community than i would prefer to deal
Lately (since FC6) things in install have become "half-assed automated."
Hardware and network are configured automatically instead of manually,
but they are not configured correctly. In my limited testing of ubuntu
(again, have to support it) I find that's not true, printers and
scanners really just work, *or* I am asked what I want to do. FC9 alpha
never did like to use the soundcard I wanted, couldn't find anything
with bluetooth, and could speak SMB (not CIFS isn't the same).
* Fedora works for me
Used to... will give FC9 a fair shot when it eventually ships. Or maybe
when the first unity release ships and it stops changing hourly. :->
