Why do they have to be the same? If I wanted what either of those OSes offer, I would be using them, not Fedora. I do not understand why my choices have to be minor variations of each other instead of distinctly different based on needs. For work, I use Fedora & Scientific Linux. I mostly use Fedora for personal needs; except when I want to play some specific games, I use Windows. And I own an old Android phone. These are distinct tasks with different needs, where is the need for them to be variations of each other? -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
