Here is why I use Fedora:
1. Out of the box my video works 2. Out of the box my audio works 3. Out of the box Extras is setup and ready to go. I have access to a lot of software with the yum command. 4. Security and bug updates for ~ 9 months, not security only. 5. I plug in my compact flash reader and Fedora automounts it and I get a nice prompt asking if I want to import my photos.
Here is why I don't use Ubuntu 1. Didn't recognize my video card out of the box and had couldn't get it to configure. xconfig didn't even come close. 2. Universe software may or may not be maintained and isn't supported by the core developers. Fedora Extras is supported and bug fixed. 3. I only get security updates for 18 months. If there are bugs I generally have to live with them. 4. Ubuntu and Sarge don't automount my compact flash reader.
