I've also been meaning to give Ubuntu a try as well, but Fedora was just so dang easy to get going. I actually purchased the parts to put together a second computer so I could play with different Linux distros, but the motherboard on the 1st PC fried, so I'm still stuck with only one PC!!! :( So, I'll stick with Fedora as my main Linux distro, and then when I get a chance to replace my old motherboard, or put together an extra PC, I'll go ahead and try some extra Linuces, in shaa Allaah. Another slight reason I prefer Fedora over other distros is because I run RHEL3 on Hidayah Online & RHEL4 on Audio Islam, so having a Redhat distro at least provides some level of OS parity with my online servers...a weak reason, I know, but it's helped out more than once to have a similar system to test on first. Granted, CentOS would be a much better option for mimicking RHEL4, I also want to play when I'm at home. : -D I tried out Gentoo, but I couldn’t get Gnome running - granted, I didn’t try too hard, either.
