Let's be honest to ourselves, Fedora is good for us, but not for the typical 'non-Linux' folk, Ubuntu is here for them.
Friendly way of presenting Fedora and explaining it's internals is a nice idea, but since the distro itself really isn't from that polished camp and stuff tends to break from time to time (much more than in Ubu e.g.), it would be somewhat misplaced?
Not sure, but I think it's meant for folk like us.
I think it is in the best interest of the Linux community as a whole that people are more familiar with their system than they have been. I have had friends that started off with Ubuntu and others that have started with Fedora. The ones who started with Fedora have stuck with Linux and for the most part can solve their own problems. The ones who started with Ubuntu or one of its derivatives either asked for help on a regular basis or have since stopped using it. Having stuff break is a great opportunity to learn how to fix it, and as a result support yourself.
In some ways I think Fedora babies us because I remember lacking a good portion of the administrative tools that I used on Fedora when I tried out Debian a number of years ago. All the system-config* programs are Red Hat specific, and I took it for granted. Granted the command-line way of doing things is present between them all, but Fedora can cater to new users fairly well. Of course these days its rare that I spend much time fixing anything.
