Actually the conclusion is better:

For users who are already familiar with Linux, Fedora 9 is an
excellent choice. Robust security features and installation options
make it somewhat more versatile than Ubuntu, which offers a more
streamlined (and therefore more restricted) installation. For most
users, though, including millions interested in trying Linux for the
first time, Fedora lacks the polish and ready-to-run simplicity of its
more popular rival.
