Thanks for the advice guys. I already decided to proceed installing Ubuntu and depart Fedora Core last night. The only difference i found is sudo, as Jerome already said. Right now, Hoary is on my laptop and I'm a happy Ubuntu user.
Thanks.

Subject: Re: [plug] Fedora Core 3 or Ubuntu
I don't see any problems regarding moving from Fedora to Ubuntu except that you'll be using sudo through your local account since root is not at all used by default. I never had any issues moving from SuSE back then.
You might want to try out the Live CD first and check it. The supported repos for Ubuntu are Main and Security. There is a third repo called "Universe" which is basically a collection of software that is not officially supported but maintained by community maintainers (usually Debian maintainers at the same time). Most of the dev tools are probably in Universe IMO.

Good morning.
I'm having some time deciding on which distro that will fit my needs. Right now, I have Fedora Core 3(kernel 2.6.11.7) and I got use to it(configure, tweak, etc. ). I'm thinking of installing Ubuntu on my notebook in exchange of my present Fedora Core system. Sometimes I do some programming, web development, and server configuration testing on my notebook.
Will there be some adjustments on my side in moving from Redhat to Debian base Linux? I need to know these adjustments before moving to another distro.
Thanks.
