Ubuntu 8.10 vs Fedora 10

At first I was really impressed by Ubuntu.

Installation was simple and fast, Printers were a breeze, Synaptics Package Manager really worked for me.

After a while, I started changing my mind.
  • Wireless network support would not work for me out the box
  • VI had keyboard character encoding bugs in it
  • There was no default support for my wireless network card
  • Dictionary was useless, it didn't support pluarals, etc.
  • No support for dual monitors on my ATI Radeon
I then installed Fedora, and am really enyoying it a lot more. All the above problems worked out of the box.
