The only thing I can say is Apt acts a bit faster than Yum in processing tasks. Apart from that both are Linux, same wholly.

Ubuntu will slightly outperform Fedora in terms of Speed. Otherwise it's all matter of personal choice. Both are good in their own respect.

I agree Fedora is also good. But the advantage of ubuntu is we can install in less disc space. few doesn't need all the apps that comes with fedora

You can install selectively in Fedora too. Who forces you to install everything?
BTW, what's Ubuntu 7?

If its looks that matter, Fedora 7. I consider it way more eye soothing than Ubuntu 7, what with sharp edges and all.

Default Re: Fedora 7 vs Ubuntu 7

it's a matter of preference. i think fedora is harder to use than ubuntu, coz a lot of things have to be enabled. because i like tinkering,i like fedora. for a newbie, fedora is not always the best option. ubuntu is better that way because nearly everything works out of the box...

Um... off topic, but where does OpenSuSE 10.2 stand in this according to you? I know that it is a matter of personal interest, but still.....

Among the 2 mentioned. I have not used fedora, and I did not like Ubuntu. I mean, I like suse more.

^^ Agreed.... I hate to wait for YUM or YaST2 to start up, apt is far faster than that.

yeah.. apt has been a debian strongpoint since long. but its good to see that yum and yast2 are catching up. there were days when package management was a headache in red hat......

i believe apt is the best package management tool across any platform and os!
