fedora and ubuntu, together at last.

ok that title is misleading, but then again so it "microsoft security". i think the last time i checked "microsoft security" was an oxy-moron :-) ok anyways, all windows jokes aside here is an excellent article outlining two gnu/linux distributions i respect(fedora and ubuntu):

http://nerdsyndrome.com/linuxdesktop/index.php

the article states that gnu/linux is larger than just a distributor or project. it is as big as the sum of the collected whole such as the distributor, projects and community.

A good article. Ubuntu and Fedora are head and shoulders above in the "community" distros , as Mandrake and Suse are in the "commercial" distros.

In my humble opinion

Yay, backports are mentioned! With the new address, too.

Well said, very good article.
one question please..
can we say " Ubuntu Linux 4.10 and Fedora Core 3. These two operating systems"? I think nor ubuntu or fedora are a standalone operating system both are Linux distro, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Wonderful! Fedora servers and Ubuntu workstations, both "free as in free beer" and both have a place. This could be a marriage made in heaven. A dream come true.

ubuntu linux 4.10 and fedora core 3 are both operating systems according to these definitions (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&oi=defmore&q=define:Operating+System+(OS)) : if an OS is an abstraction away from the hardware and machine code, then ubuntu or fedora are operating systems. they are also a gnu/linux distribution which is a collection of free software packaged together in an easy to install and use manner. then again not all distros are easy to install or use, so i guess it's just a packaging of free software. then again not all distros are composed of "free" software.... i am going to stop now :roll:

I love both fedora and ubuntu - both are fast and stable. This article just echoes my thoughts :)

I uninstalled ubuntu to try out mepis, but i finf that i liked ubuntu better. Only, the installer does have some corruption on my i810 onboard video card.

However, i wish i could install hoary array4 - since it is quite difficult to update on my slow net connection. I suppose i will wait for shipit..
