[ale] FW: ubuntu versus fedora

[Lightner, Jeff]

I'd replied to Bea off list and she sent this response offering meeting
space.   

Since they're off GA 400 I thought maybe some of the North side people
might be interested.

Yes we are an Advanced Red Hat Training Partner.  My instructor is on
leave so I thought I'd throw that out there and thank you for your many
responses.  I'll share that information with my friend.

I have one other question for all of you...do you all need maybe a place
to meet up and have a user group meeting?  I have some folks interested
so far from our customer base.  However maybe it would be good to have a
free place to go.  Let me know and I can provide a place for up to 40
people.  We provide refreshments and pizza's, sandwiches etc.

By the way - GCA offers RedHat training.  RedHat is a another
distribution of Linux so any of your RedHat trainers can probably not
only answer questions for you they can probably show them to you.

Fedora is a project supported by RedHat - They use it as a test bed for
what ends up in RedHat Enterprise Linux later.

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.
