[Ambassadors] Help me: Fedora vs. Ubuntu

[Emilio Simpkins]

Honestly, I think we need to advertise more...Idk if this is a common
problem, but almost all the people I talk to have never even heard of
anything but Ubuntu and just thought Fedora was something Indiana Jones
wore. (possibly just because were high school kids and haven't had time to
look around).  I'm not talking $80 and $118 dollar bags, but a mouse pad
maybe? Or maybe not. I just know that almost no one I know thinks of Fedora
when they hear the word Linux. If people know we are here, then maybe they
will take a look at us and do there own comparison, and see themselves what
we have over Ubuntu.
