comparing fedora core to Ubuntu is like comparing Linux to itself :P

@philkgray Fedora may not be as pretty as ubuntu as default. It can be prettier than ubuntu if you care so much about the appearance of your operating system. Not to mention that Ubuntu and those too-much-user-friendly distributions are creating a new generation of dumb and lazy users.

When Ubuntu is running on Raspberry Pi SBC - a credit card PC for £21.60 ?

@lolineko Ubuntu is a great Linux to start with when switching from Windows because it's user friendly and simple. MOST people on this planet don't wanna spend hours and hours on Linux forums just to find out how to do basics in their system or install the drivers.. Ubuntu also breaks stereotypes that say Linux is difficult ,user unfriendly and stressful which makes people turn to Windows and Mac and the filthy rich CEOs of Microsoft and Apple only get richer.Genius lies in simplicity

@tommycarstensen Same here Gnome3 is nice at first until you want to change it's appearance. I primarily use XFCE as it's very close to GNOME2. I'm currently running ArchLinux and I understand that there is a Gnome2 fork available. Have you considered Lubuntu? (for laptops) or Sabayon (gentoo based)

[tommycarstensen]

@joe4ska She didn't like Ubuntu, so I switched to F15 unaware of the GNOME3 upgrade. She has gotten used to GNOME3 by now. It's not difficult to operate, when you only run one application at a time (web browser or card games). I still have a machine running Fedora14, and I think I'll switch to Xubuntu or Kubuntu myself, when the maintenance of F14 ends. I really really don't like GNOME3, as you might have guessed :-)

[joe4ska]

@tommycarstensen True, any new desktop environment takes some getting used to. Did she stick to it? If so how does she like it after using it for awhile?

[soylalegion]

LOL! Installation process has nothing to do with their reliability.

[tommycarstensen]

@emewify I would recommend Ubuntu to a new user, because so many packages are readily available. My mom was really confused with Ubuntu and GNOME3 however, because of their different look from Windows.

@k2kraze good :D cause i had this crappy pc that had only like 300mb.. was thinking about puppy linux or damn small linux :D but they were really really low

[k2kraze]

@rrgert4 If you want a distro that doesn't need much memory I believe you might want to look into Xubuntu. It should use significantly less than Ubuntu and Fedora. Supposedly it runs on as little as 128MB of RAM.

[rrgert4]

what takes less ram
