By all means, Ubuntu Linux and Canonical Ltd. have made a spectacular arrival on the Linux scene lately. The combination is like a dream come true for many, many Linux aficionados: tightly selected bleeding edge packages to focus the distribution on a single CD, corporate backing, 18 month support, that all sounds like a formidable package.

I tried both Ubuntu and the FC3 Test 3 and while I do like the keep it simple approach of Ubuntu, I still prefer Fedora for the following reason:
1) Bluecurve is a great default theme and now integrated into Openoffice as well. I dont really care for Ubuntus default theme. I know its personal preference and one can change it but I prefer a nice professional default theme and Bluecurve is just that.
2) Font rendering seems much better on FC3 compared to Ubuntu.
3) No proper UTF-8 support in Ubuntu yet.
4) No bootsplash in Ubuntu yet.
5) X.Org.
6) RedHat system tools and update notification.
I read Ubuntu is working on some of these for their next version so I will definitely try the next release.
For now I am looking forward to Fedora Core 3 Final.
