come'on, I hate brown... :-)
One thing is that Canonical do much much less to Linux kernel development then RedHat. They don't give back :-(

Well, i never really used Fedora... I used RH back then, and when i was to get back to Linux after XP, I have evaluated many distros, and Ubuntu seemed kinda promising. Why did it seem promising to me?
- large user base
- entirely non-for-profit
- targeted the desktop more definitely than some others
- software with different copyrights avalable in a rather integrated way
(universe, multiverse, medibuntu)
- nice brownish look :o)

just curious... why switch from fedora to ubuntu?
2010/9/13 Hans-Christoph Steiner hans@at.or.at:
The Debian tools make it quite easy and manageable to build your own kernel. Try that before switching :) .hc On Sep 13, 2010, at 4:21 PM, András Murányi wrote:
Ahh, livna.... You know, know that i have convinced my Fedora friends to switch to Ubuntu, what do I tall them when i go back? :o) I'll take a look at it, and also at home-brewing a kernel. Maybe that's the way forward.
Thanks, Andras

Then you have to add Fusion free+non-free (maybe livna?) to your repos.

Hhh, switching distro seems harder than moving to another country sometimes... :o) I heard that some non-free stuff if missing from Fedora, does CCRMA have these? Like some proprietary codecs, etc...

yes, planet_ccrma is a repo for the Fedora/CentOS/RedHat family I like it
