Linux distros are advancing everywhere. Not only servers but also on the desktop pc and notebooks. There are wild discussions, if Linux-Distributions are ready for serious business work or personal use. This critical review will deal with two long awaited Linux-distributions, Fedora Core 3 and Ubuntus Warty Warhog. Why these two? Because both feature Gnome 2.8 and it would not be a comparision on equal terms to compare Gnome to e.g KDE. Also, both use kernel 2.6.8+ and have their very own theme for the default desktop. Bluecurve for Fedora and Human for Ubuntu.

"So, with that in mind, this review would come out 5:5, a Draw"
Ubuntu won 6:4. If you remove Ubuntu's point for better media support it doesn't add a point for Fedora. So in your opinion, Ubuntu still won 5:4.
IMO there is no comparison between the two in respect to media support. With Ubuntu I had support for dvd/mp3/Xvid/win32codecs in just a couple minutes thanks to apt-get. With Fedora I spent hours trying to do the same thing with marginal success.
