Hi there,

I always sway people with this phrase: "Want to see tomorrow's Ubuntu? Try Fedora today!" then proceed to explain how features are more important, and the Fedora Philosofy:

Freedom, Friends, Features, First

It's worked out for me so far.

Hi all,

Most of People in our community are crazy with Ubuntu.
I know Fedora is much better and I am thinking about a campaign to change their mind.

First of all, I would like to write a full list of advantages in Fedora against Ubuntu (in our language, Vietnamese, of course).
Could you please help me some good sources and ideas (both for the advantage list and the full process to change their mind).

Kind regards,
Tuan

The first argument that I come up with is that many Ubuntu sub-projects are not upstream. For example if an Ubuntu translator, translate a gnome string, Launchpad will not upstream the string to Gnome translations so the other distributions won't have that string translated.
An another thing is that Ubuntu uses many tools like Launchpad which are closed source. Hey, we are a FOSS community over here.

A personal argument is that Ubuntu is trying to be more like Windows and less than a typical Linux distribution. Evolution is good, but don't try to be more like your enemy for wining more fans. It's not right!

I am a little bit tired so I can't think anything else right now. Hope to helped you. Good luck.
