    Fedora Core 6 or Ubuntu

    I'm looking to dual-boot Windows and Linux when I get my new build sorted - so I was just wondering which of these you'd recommend for normal desktop everyday use.

    I'm currently running Fedora Core 4 as a server on another PC - but I have no idea what it's like to use for a desktop.

    Thanks

    -Chris

    FC6 is a little bit more "edgy" in what it supports - e.g. EFI booting, 3D desktop acceleration out of the box

    Ubuntu 6.10 is a little more polished - i.e. won't ask you to keep swapping CDs whenever you do something

    Fedora hasn't got an especially nice package manager (unless you install Synaptic and apt), which would be more than enough reason for me to switch to Ubuntu. Also, Fedora Core 7, for whatever reason, seems unable to write to my USB stick.
