A little bit of everything. Actually, I think the GUI (although both use GNOME) is much more responsive on FC than Ubuntu. However, I just couldn’t get the stupid thing to work.

Oh well. I ended up finding some themes for Ubuntu to make me much happier. I just wish they’d get rid of that poop brown color for the default. Ick.

I’m reinstalling Ubuntu now. Never again. It’s too bad, I like Fedora’s eye candy, and we use Red Hat at work, but this is just … stupid.

As far as the eye candy is concerned, I’m not sure if you’re referring to the default theme or the compiz effects that FC uses. Either way, both are definitely do-able on Ubuntu, just not in the out-of-the-box fashion with which I am told FC handles it. However, that should change by the time Feisty is finished.

Hi Dave.

I was in the same boat and tried FC6 tonight. Man, what a mistake that was. I should have read up, because apparently they screwed up the distro and the i586 distro was actually for i686 machines. I couldn’t get the internet to work and without internet, well, who cares.

I’m reinstalling Ubuntu now. Never again. It’s too bad, I like Fedora’s eye candy, and we use Red Hat at work, but this is just … stupid.
