Whats this got to do with the question ?

Hey funboys, get your own thread.

As for to ubuntu or not, go with what your comfortable with. I tend to 
hover between Ubuntu and Fedora. I guess the main things I like about 
Ubuntu is the fact that it's a single CD install, which is very handy. 
Hopefully Fedora 7 will revert the stupid multi-cd trend that Fedora 
Core haven't been able to leave behind.

At the end of the day, what distro you use boils down to how well it 
suits you. Ubuntu has had quite a lot of good press and well deserved 
too. However, I'd have to agree with Justin about some it's more recent 
releases.
