Fedora VS Ubuntu
Fedora and Ubuntu, both are popular among people who like Linux Environment. The question arises in one’s mind is, what’s the difference between two?
In many ways Fedora and Ubuntu family are similar, both tend to focus on Gnome and give you a great deal of bleeding edge software. Ubuntu was found by Mark Shuttleworth and sponsored by Canonical Ltd. It is currently one of the most popular GNU/Linux flavors. Fedora is a general purpose system; it does not concentrate on one specific market. It is suitable both for home users, programmers and the corporate server. In each case it requires some customization however, Fedora Core stability is comparable to similar distros like Ubuntu or openSUSE. There are many efforts to make the software testing within Fedora Core even better by implementing an automated test system. Ubuntu is based on Debian, which is one of the most stable and mature distributions available. Still, Ubuntu comes with fresh software and instabilities may occur. Kubuntu on the other hand is considered a bit worse in terms of stability since recent versions of KDE usually break more often that fresh GNOME.
Ubuntu's stated purpose is to replace Windows but their first bug is that Windows is more popular. As such, they strive to make it as user-friendly as possible, and you will often, but not always, find that things work with less effort on Ubuntu. Ubuntu and the rest of its family use a live installation disk which more attractive for new users. Fedora, regardless of the latest official line, is more or less a testing ground for RedHat, they often put in new things, and might not test them as thoroughly as they would be tested.
Ubuntu uses sudo for everything, they discourage even giving root a password. Fedora makes sudo a bit more difficult to use for the non-root user since even with sudo. Ubuntu uses the apt system for package management; you will find it faster than yum. To the end user, in many ways, it's simply a matter of getting used to the syntax of one or the other.
As someone who prefers BSD and the far more minimalist ArchLinux, both distros strike as having too much installed as default as well as too much reliance on GUI tools, but this is just my taste. Might be one reason that many professionals use Fedora, because it's what they use at work, so using it at home makes you more comfortable with it, and better able to act reflexively if there are problems.
For a beginner, it would be more appropriate to recommend Ubuntu. Not because Fedora is bad, but Ubuntu is aimed more at the beginner. That’s the reason the Fedora forums seem more mature, many Fedora people are people who've been using Linux for years and started with RedHat.
