Python 3 - can be installed parallel to Python 2.6 + Support for Python specific commands within gdb 2. I have used Ubuntu for couple of years at the university, but I prefer rpm/yum over dpkg/apt/aptitude 3. Newer kernels + 2.6.38 for F15 + 2.6.35 for F14 + 2.6.34 for F13 4. Compared to Ubuntu, I feel the quality control on packages are higher in Fedora. I have very little experience with Debian, but from my few months of trying it out, although better than Ubuntu I found it lacking compared to Fedora. 5. Many others might debate this, but I feel more secure with SELinux set to enforce. I feel Fedora integrates SELinux much better than any other distro. 6. Again debatable, but I like LVMs. Not sure how good the support is in Debian. 7. Possibility to test bleeding edge technologies like the btrfs filesystem 8. Although the ppa system is nice, but I find the community repositories available for Fedora have a higher packaging standard and are in general more reliable. Hope this helps. -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
