[ale] ubuntu versus fedora

[Lightner, Jeff]

Ubuntu is a Linux distribution.  When you install it you are installing Linux.  

Fedora is a different Linux distribution.   When you install it you are installing Linux.

Or if you're a purist - both have the Linux Kernel and various GNU utilities and addons.   For all practical purposes though they are both "Linux" operating systems.

I was asked if you can load just Ubuntu only, or does a layer of Linux need to be on the drive?  I'm not technical, but a friend asked...thought I'd get your opinion.

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.
