I guess Omi bhai was putting an end to the Fedora Vs. Ubuntu debate,
but I'll add something that I think everyone missing.
I'll clear my position here first, I love Linux, I love the freedom in
it. Currently I use Ubuntu cause I've became used to it. I've also
used Redhat , Fedora 1-8 and I know my ins and out of both of the distros.
Now I should point out some information
Canonical (Ubuntu's Sponsor) also provides paid supports
<http://www.ubuntu.com/support/paid> and if you don't want to pay you
go to the community, Its all the same with Redhat, if you want
dedicated support you go for paid service if not then go to the
Community. Yes Fedora also have a good community.
But at the end the paid service is mostly useful for Large
corporations and companies.
Don't forget, every corporation is in it for money.
I am not stereotyping Fedora, but seriously I dont see there is
any necessity of this distro anymore :)
Debian and Mandriva (former mandrake) are much more matured than
this one, even you can conside Suse too -
I had to point out this comment, cause I think I have to.
You are getting it all wrong. Linux is all about community and working
together. Red-hat implements something Ubuntu adopts it and Vise
versa. Without this community work Linux wouldn't have came this far.
So every one is important. So for the sake of Linux, Fedora should
exists, so should Ubuntu and other thousands of distros, cause anyone
contribute anything in the end it that helps each and every one of us.
because it didn't worked for you, doesn't meant it will not work for
others, it works. Thousands of servers runs on Fedora/Redhat. Fedora
have a big user base. Where I work, the server is a Fedora 8 server
and it works, its damn solid.
Fedora is more matured then most of the distros you mentioned except
Debian.
I like redhat because, Red hat have been giving us their OS for free
for a Long long time and mind it their contribution to Linux is
undeniable and huge. And They still have a big part in Linux's
development and they will have for a long time to come.
Mandriva and Suse are corporate maggots from whome I think I would
stay away, I don't remember Mandriva ever contribute something
mentionable to the OSS and while Suse contribution is awesome (Compiz,
silverlight etc.) they are sold to MS.
I agree yum sucks, but its a new system (w/r to apt) so it needs time.
As far I remember their developers are working for an unified
repository, once its completed, most of the dependency problems will
be solved. I've used Fedora 8 and I have to say it was solid. Only
problem was the package manager. but the improvement between Yum(f7)
and yum(f8) was very impressive. and in fedora 9 they are reworking
the GUI too which looks nicer then the 7/8 's package manager.
Its not very reasonable to say one distro sucks or another distro is
boss. cause in the core all are the same, They are all built a top of
Linux kernel, they are all the same to me
Bye
