I am currently an Ubuntu User (from 8.04 now 8.10). Have been using Fedora core 4,5,6,7,8(I simply luv FC6 and F8) and F9 crashed on my VIA K8 ..so tried 8.04 LTS and i luved it GUI-LY. I hate ubuntu when in command line mode..coz I have to learn all stuff all-over again(ditto for FreeBSD..two commands to mount a cd ..give me a break). I was shocked initially by seeing that ubuntu have no /etc/inittab& iptables or firewall utilities(i took months to find that a shy ufw existed and its as obscure as firewall service hidden in winxp-sp1). The good things i find in ubuntu are 1) stable GUI and 2) super-duper community. I have never really posted a problem on ubuntu forums..just search google and somebody already have posted in different ways in two or more threads..While using fedora (as a happy user of fc6 and F8) was sick with ubuntu talk everywhere like Barack Obama(now wikipedia too hav become a ubuntu fanboy) and when searching for a problem in fedora, i usually end up in ubuntuforum which is very cleanly and neatly given. But I believe ubuntu is very far from a noob machine. it has no command-line one-stop tool like "setup" or ntsysv (sysv-rc-conf is strangely not installed by default). Its partial implementation of event-based upstart is confusing to an avg user like me. I still like sys-v. since fedora is also going after upstart..its a no contest..just my thoughts
