I remember when you first made your move to Fedora, because you 
mentioned you were looking for a new distro at the same time that I 
was (perhaps we were both being pushed out of Red Hat at the time 
because of their policy changes?).

Anyway, at that time, I moved to (straight) Debian, and that's where 
I've been ever since. I've dabbled with various Debian derivatives 
from time to time, such as Mepis, Knoppix, (K)Ubuntu, and so forth. 
I don't  want to get into a debate with the Ubuntu crowd, but 
personally, I've always had problems getting Ubuntu set up right, 
and yet had no problems with Straight Debian. For instance, on a few 
of my machines, I was never able to get (K)Ubuntu to do proper 
screen resolutions, where the Debian install did it automatically.

I know different people will have different experiences, but that's 
mine.

Chuck
