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.
I've tried both, to me Fedora was Faster and I was able to find more packages to install in the repositories, by the other hand, Ububtu was more stable than FC3, but I wasn't able to install the packages I needed because the repositories are to limited.
In my opinion FC3 wins by an inch.
