you gotta remember IMO UBuntu an Fedora have a different Focus on Desktop Linux..where as fedora is More Bloated than Ubuntu.. fedora is more or less a debain Distro that test's the new technology to improve Linux Desktop so its gonna be slower IMO

Heh Demz, looks like a typo to me. I think you meant to type RedHat, not Debian. Ubuntu is based on Debian, Fedora is the testbed for RH.

Yes, there's a different focus. Ubuntu's number one bug is that MS is more popular. They strive and do a pretty good job, of creating a distribution that works. More focus on creating a good user experience out of the box.

Fedora is more prone to throw things in before they've really been made to work properly as a great deal of the focus is on testing.

I know the feeling... From June to September the temperature is from 38 to 41 degrees plus the +80% humidity that breaks whatever is left of you...

But cold weather is ok, i mean 5-10 degrees is very healthy, i get to wear my geeky cordroy trousers and it helps pc's run cooler in the basement
