PCMag compared Ubuntu, Windows, and Mac OS X to one another. "Now that the major OSs all run on Intel chips, the playing field is pretty leveled out. We compared the heavy hitters in an eight-point test to find who wins the OS battle."

"you consider configuring Ubuntu as "taming a wild beast", what on earth would they think of Fedora?
Why would you ask that? Fedora is just as easy to configure as Ubuntu, i don't see much difference. "

"Taming a wild beast" was a quote from the article. I was being sarcastic.

I do. I'm an admin. I set my clients up with Fedora or CentOS thin clients running against Fedora or CentOS servers. But when I set up a full installation of Linux for use by a single user... I do not hesitate to choose Ubuntu.
Fedora is great. But a distro has to decide, in the beginning, what they are about. And Fedora is not about making things work for the average user. They are about cool, cutting edge technology, and about refusing to lift a finger to help users who want to do things of which they do not approve.
The difference between Fedora and Ubuntu becomes apparent when it is your job and responsibility to pick a distro that is really best for the user in question.
Fedora is great for me. Fedora is great for my users on Xterminals. Fedora is *not* great for my standalone users at remote offices.
