For users who are already familiar with Linux, Fedora 9 is an excellent choice. Robust security features and installation options make it somewhat more versatile than Ubuntu, which offers a more streamlined (and therefore more restricted) installation. For most users, though, including millions interested in trying Linux for the first time, Fedora lacks the polish and ready-to-run simplicity of its more popular rival.
Ubuntu 8.0.4 offers a level of functionality comparable to that of Mac OS and Windows, from delivery to installation to daily use. Unfortunately, the ties that bind all Linux distributions — primarily a lack of support for major Windows- and Mac-based business, design, and gaming applications — still hold Ubuntu back from mass popularity. For users with such moderate computing needs as Web browsing, e-mail, and basic document creation, however, Hardy is a compelling option. |
Spot on...
Though I'd even say that if your a Linux veteran, Ubuntu sure offers a 'lot' less hassle generally if you just want to setup an all round user environment.
It's difficult to compare Fedora and Ubuntu in the end really though, one is more workstation/corporate and the other is more home desktop. It's good for personal choice, just use what you are happy with.

I love Ubuntu! I've got Fedora9, but i haven't tried it yet. Thinking I might just try it out on my laptop.
Speaking as a fairly new person to Linux/Ubuntu, Ubuntu has made it extremely easy. I love the stability, and customizability!
