I just read some reviews of Fedora 10 compared to Ubuntu 8.10. Because I am an Ubuntu fan boy I need to justify my reasoning of saying it is better. The reason I like Ubuntu more is not OS to OS but the people behind them. Canonical says Ubuntu will always be free not matter the version. Fedora is just the test bed for Redhat. Not to dis redhat. Redhat puts a lot of code back into a lot of good open source projects. It is just they still have to sell there server stuff. I like the Ubuntu idea of free for everyone and pay for just support. It does remain to be seen if Canonical can make money this way for the long term. So I guess that is about it. I think both OSs are good and very close to the same. I just like Ubuntu more (for the moment). I also like that fact they have something to complete for.
Ubuntu does have a large amount of online forum stuff.
Ubuntu uses .deb which are easy to look inside and I think work nice
Ubuntu is working on bazaar to have all there packages in

A glich-free version of PulseAudio? I'm there!
I kid.
I agree on many of the points you made. Canonical's prime directive is to knock MS Windows off of its desktop throne, and I'm not sure about Red Hat's stance but I'm sure that's not it.
I'm all for this friendly competition. Bring it on! Like one blade sharpening another, it will make for only better software.
As of the past month, Ubuntu is still on top, but Fedora is not too many hits behind.
The reasons I prefer Ubuntu:
- Good community and popularity
- Good package support
- Easy to use
And some other stuff, but eventually these top distros start to blend together so much it is hard to pick why one is better than another. If one has a feature that the other one doesn't, just wait a few months.
