So, because the boot time is 5 seconds faster, Fedora > Ubuntu? Is this the only reason? I've never liked Fedora, and Ubuntu has always been a really strong OS in my opinion, in terms of package management, automatic updates, hardware detection, and auto-configuration of cool doodads like compiz and ndiswrapper for unsupported wireless cards. Guess it depends on how bad you need those 5 seconds. Everything I post is made up fiction. SWIM represents a character who is not based in or on reality.

no, it's more of an afterthought. F11 uses the ext4 file system, revamped anaconda, SElinux security, and is generally ahead of the curve. but ubuntu is n00b-friendly RH > Debian "Nothing is true, everything is permitted." ~ hassan i sabbah

Depends on how you define the curve. I tend to define it as the point in which productivity is highest. If you see it as the latest and greatest but not necessarily the most stable, then yeah. I generally think that statements like RH > Debian are a waste of time, they both exist because they earned a place, they serve distinct purposes that can't really be explained by simple inequalities.

i know, it's more of an opinion. used ubuntu feisty faun, didn't like it. the lack of flexibility (i.e. terminals, dev) with the given utilities was dissapointing; but it was configured so someone new to linux would be able to navigate through the OS. ime, I found the flexibility of Fedora somewhere in between OpenSuSe and Ubuntu, the latter being the least flexible. granted, ubuntu is pretty stable; suse was full of bugs.

Back when I had the time to research and configure every last bit of my system I dug on slackware more than anything else, and it's derivs like vector. Gentoo was an interesting aside that consumed a fair amount of my time. It's been a while since I've had the time though, and if you're in school, often the most important thing is that you can quickly and easily open and create the various file types required by your assignments, which are more often than not windows specific. The ease with which I could do this right of the bat with ubuntu, or apt-get my way if it wasn't in the base install, kept me coming back. But I can definitely relate to the desire for complete control over your system. Everything I post is made up fiction. SWIM represents a character who is not based in or on reality.
