I'm just to lazy to find the Fedora website and look this all up .

I use Fedora and Ubuntu, I have tried countless others, including older Redhat versions, at the end of the day its personal preference - mine is Fedora - nothing come close.

fedora IS DEFINATELY a great distro to go for if your moving from Windows, Ubuntu and all over debien based distros are a littly tricky to get setup at the beginning (esp if your a linux virgin ...) SuSE, NOT A BIG FAN, mandrake is pretty nice!

Back to Fedora, I couldn't say anything more than cscgal, if you do install Fedora, then grab apt-get and synaptic, and you got the best of redhat in fedora itself, and the best of debien in the apt-get and synaptic package manger.

by the way fedora:

I just saw the thread in the todays posts section (guess because of mikesql's post) didn't actually realise that the original post was so old.
