Ubuntu or Fedora - that is the question


In a week or so I have to change a few computers to linux. I have been trying Ubuntu and Fedora. The question is which from this twos to choose. Computers are to work as desktops in a network connected to the Internet.

Thank you

Orlando

Well install the one that worked best for you and that you are comfortable administering.

Yeah,

I agree with reddazz, just use the one that you feel the most comfortable administering, personally I would go with FC4 if you HAVE to choose between those 2 distros, otherwise I'd try something else like Mandriva

Just my 2c

Why Mandriva?

Why Mandriva?
Does it have portuguese (from potugal, not from brasil) language support?
Thanx

Orlando,

Yup I think it does as a matter of fact, the reason I Like Mandriva is it is graphical and very user friendly and comes with Everything you want by defult. Also it has a great Multimedia setup
