   I am a noob to the differences between distros, though.     
      
   I spent all that time learning the ins and outs of Redhat, then I move my   
   laptop to Ubuntu, and find that there are plenty of things that are just   
   plain done differently...   
      
   And for the home user, I am pretty quickly becoming convinced that Ubuntu   
   is superior to Fedora.  I hope they don't take away my RHCE for that...   ;-)   
      
   I do think that Redhat is the best I have seen in a server environment.    
   My RHEL 4.0 server has been running for months with absolutely no   
   interaction.  I sometimes forget it is there...
