I decided a while back that I was going to move my laptop over to Fedora Linux, and I finally have it completely done. I'm pretty content with it. I've run several versions of linux over the years. My son tells me I'm a "distro hopper". I've run Slackware, Red Hat, Mandrake, Suse, Mandriva, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Arch, Debian, and Fedora. I'm probably forgetting something else. All of them have something to be said for them. I most recently ran Kubuntu. It was a good system, but I'm not thrilled with the direction that Ubuntu Linux is going. To me, Ubuntu is rather going the way of some of the big name closed proprietary systems. A free and open source system should follow what the public who is using it wants from it, and Ubuntu is not doing that. On the other hand, Fedora's only guide is what software is created for the free and open source market. If its users want a program, it makes it into the distro. That's what a free system should be.
