Well, i never really used Fedora... I used RH back then, and when i was to get back to Linux after XP, I have evaluated many distros, and Ubuntu seemed kinda promising. Why did it seem promising to me? - large user base - entirely non-for-profit - targeted the desktop more definitely than some others - software with different copyrights avalable in a rather integrated way (universe, multiverse, medibuntu) - nice brownish look :o)
