Debian 5 (LINUX) or Fedora 11 (LINUX) ?
Which one would you better recommend, Fedora 11 Linux or Debian 5 Linux? I tried Debian Linux for a little bit, but now I am sorta considering going with Fedora 11 Linux? Please do not recommend some other Operating System (LINUX) like Ubuntu, unless you think it is MUCH better than those, but please still list one of those two also. Thank you very much!
Best answer gets 10 points!!!
Thank you Dan but, yeah I am trying to find a answer from somebody who as tried both or knows a Full Answer
Thank you Michael E, I will wait for some more answers before Choosing….
Oh yeah another thing Michael E, can you decide between Fedora and Debian though?
Of Michael, I just re-looked your answer and saw the Fedora, thank you, yeah I kinda forgot you said that after I posted about waiting…
Ok, I have already got both, not a dual boot, I run them both using VMWare Player… But please still give any recommendations on any Linux Distros besides Ubuntu,Debian,and Fedora.

well If you really don’t like the Idea of Ubuntu (a debian based OS) then fedora 11 should be the way to go.
but if you are more into the KDE interface, Kubuntu is a great solution (also supported by Canonical as much as you wanted to hear that)
open Suse Is great for enterprise solutions
It’s all preference! (I prefer Kubuntu because it is KDE and is compatible with Ubuntu’s packet manager database.)
I don’t know about Debian but Fedora is pretty nice.
If you are planning to use Debian, I would recommend Ubuntu. It has a few "cooler" more cutting edge features, as well as an extremely active community. Fedora 11 is my personal preference right now, since it has a mix of high end features (EXT4 and a speedy boot time) as well as a great package manager.
John in my opinion Linux Mint is the best, I have tried them all
Fedora 11
Debian 5
Suse 11
Ubuntu 9.4
Kubuntu 9..4
now running Xubuntu on a low powered old dell 566 runs reasonably well
My 1st and 2nd choice as got to be
Linux mint 6 or 7
Sabayon 4 or a 4.1 Sabayon 4 is the better one it gives you several choices of desktop from the loggin page Gnome, KDE, Xfce floxbox
both easy installation, good setup from the start. 3D cube setup ready to run, easy software installation hardware set up good, Both well worth downloading and testing at the end of the day the choice is yours alone
I don’t think much of commercial backed distros Suse or fedora the unknowns seem to be the better choices they put more into their work
I think you should seriously consider the latest Ubuntu release
I thoroughly recommend Ubuntu 9.04
Performance is exceptional.

The most outstanding feature for me is having the ability to convert the conventional ext3 filesystem to ext4 which further enhances performance
