Hi Lanthus,
It up to you to choose what flavor of Linux you want..... I besically use Redhat for my server... I've been working on redhat for 6 years ; way before fedora...
But its the support and easy to work for the workstation .i've kindda like Ubuntu.. Why don't you give it a try.... its mush faster than fedora 7 in a laptop man.....
I'm thinking now to switch my server to ubuntu.......
I wouldn't say its better than redhat or any other flavors out there but more people like it as a workstation.....
