It was 7/10 vs 10/10 (having the benefit of it sitting in front of me).

They also have this notable table

                        Ubuntu            Fedora

Time to Boot up    :   41s               76s
Size of Distro     :   1 CD              5 CD
Packages Available :   16000             6000
Time to Install    :   15min             25min


I don't agree with some of the things said [1], but I'm as partial to 
Fedora as the reviewer was to Ubuntu seemed to me, so it's worth taking 
note of.
