I used RH8 when it was released, but that was a very long time ago.
Since then I have used newer RH distros, Suse 8.2 (which I loved),
Slackware (which I always liked and was my first Linux distro) and
then Ubuntu since I think 4.07. I was never a big Gnome fan, but
Ubuntu managed to package it in such a way that I made peace with it.
However, just for sake of argument, Fedora now comes with pirut, which
is a graphical front end to yum, providing the same facilities as
apt-get. But Fedora doesn't fit in one CD.
To be honest, I haven't really tried Fedora since its name change from
RedHat. But what bugged me most was the size that the distros were
becoming. I think Suse was the worst, which came on 5 or 6 CD's! I
really don't need 20 text editors or 5 Office applications, etc. :-)
This is where Ubuntu shines. They picked the best of the Gnome/Gtk
based apps and only include one of each type of application. Obviously
you can install others if you which, but their selection is pretty
good - out of the box.
