Great Question :)
Sorry to nose in on this question. But how about BOTH!
Fedora for getting in recent/latest packages ie. kernel, gcc, glibc, ..., etc.
Ubuntu LTS(Long Term Support), very useful help pages throughout the net(little more than
Fedora), more support other than LTS, ..., etc.,
cutomized versions(Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Mythbuntu, ..., Ubuntu Christian Edition,
Ubuntu Muslim Edition, ...)
Which is better Ford or Chevy? Wait there's also Dodge, Toyota, ..., great to have
choices. Linux is like this also. I happen to agree with
Mikkel on this one :)
While having choices is nice, if you are going to make the inevitable
internet car analogy, if one of the companies (Linux distros in general)
only has about 1% of the total market to begin with, would you still
think it was a good idea to fragment that into a bazillion models that
can't be supported with interchangeable parts? You aren't talking Ford
and Chevy here - it's more like DeLorian and Tesla.
