I personally do not consider it a poor cousin - if I were to keep the family analogy I would consider it a kindly rich uncle, but that is how it has been described in the past and mud sticks.

I am fully aware of fedora's features, if I was not 100% happy with it I would not have considered becoming an ambassador.

I would be happy if the 10:1 ratio were 1:10 or even 1:1, it would be a sign that our work as ambassadors is going in the right direction.

I also consider that even one user that migrates from windows or any other distribution that stays with Fedora is a vindication of the hard work that the entire team behind Fedora puts in to make such a great product.

I HIGHLY DISAGREE Greg.

Fedora is NOT poor cousin to RedHat or Ubuntu...ITs a mighty Distro in its own right and would not fall to any other!! It has been #2 in the rankings of distrowatch for a very long time...that MEANS something is good with Fedora that keeps it up there....hmmm...maybe if one can research the FEATURES of it.

Lies
Damn lies
Statistics

As somebody that ships both Fedora and ubuntu I know that (at least for me) ubuntu outstrips Fedora by a 10:1 or better ratio.

Does that mean that ubuntu is ten times better than Fedora? No, purely that when Linux is mentioned generally either ubuntu or Red Hat is the topic.  Fedora is regarded as the "poor cousin" to these - rightly or wrongly.

If more focus was paid on brand recognition I am sure that fedora could consistently outsell (outgiveaway?) ubuntu.

Best regards

Greg

Only within the last month and this is because we had a release in this
timeframe, Ubuntu didn't. It's always like this when one of us releases
a new version.

Regars,
