Ubuntu is a Linux distribution. Linux is specifically the kernel that runs the hardware, filesystem, user management, etc. By loading Ubuntu you are by default loading a layer of Linux.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Apr 19, 2010 at 9:46 AM, Bea Martinez <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:bea.martinez@gca.net">bea.martinez@gca.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I just moved to F12 from F11, and I can say that F12 has fixed all of what I saw as bug in Network Manager. I had to uninstall it from F11, it was so crappy. But with F12, I appear to have no issues at all with the wired connections, and I was able to get the wireless to connect with only minimal research. SO Fedora 12 might be worth a try if Network Manager is your bete noir.<br>
