I have used R since 1997 (version 0.4) and Fedora since Fedora 1 (2003). Ubuntu which my wife used for 10-12 years (before she saw the light, as it were) can not even begin to match Fedora's support and user community. With regard to R: I prefer installing the packages using install.packages() inside R and update them using update.packages(). I feel that that is a better option for me.
