I HIGHLY DISAGREE Greg.<br><br>Fedora is NOT poor cousin to RedHat or Ubuntu...ITs a mighty Distro in its own right and would not fall to any other!! It has been #2 in the rankings of distrowatch for a very long time...that MEANS something is good with Fedora that keeps it up there....hmmm...maybe if one can research the FEATURES of it.<br>

</div>Only within the last month and this is because we had a release in this<br>
timeframe, Ubuntu didn't. It's always like this when one of us releases<br>
a new version.<br>
