I have Fedora as a vm and yes, it runs Unity. Takes some getting used to; I have had various Ubuntu versions from 5 through 12.10, and Fedora from 6 through 18 now; also have tried OpenSuSe, briefly, Mint, WattOS, CentOS, Scientific Linux, and Red Hat from their desktop distro 6.2 through the current RHEL 6.4.
I used to like Ubuntu but recently not so much, due to constant updates that bork the hardware configs, and other business-related matters. Plus trying to look as much like W8 as possible and rushing into the cell phone and tablet markets. So I have Fedora 18 at home next to a RHEL 6.4 box and at work we run RHEL 5.3 through 6.1. YMMV, of course.
