The Macbook Experiment: Fedora 10 for Two Days | Tux Geek:

Great article that mentions the main differences between Ubuntu and Fedora:

"

• It uses RPM packaging and YUM for command-line package management, which some may find slower than Ubuntu’s apt-get and aptitude, but I didn’t notice that much of a difference.

• Community is smaller, number of pages indexed by Google is smaller(31 mil compared to 75) but the forums are active and you will definitely get your questions answered.

• It is considered leading-edge, because it always integrates the latest open-source technologies. (For example: OpenOffice 3.0, that didn’t made it to Ubuntu 8.10)

• Comes only with FOSS. So you don’t have MP3 support out of the box.8-thumb The Macbook Experiment: Fedora 10 for Two Days

• Because security is one of the most important features in Fedora, it has Security-Enhanced Linux(SELinux) which provides advanced security policies trough the use of Linux Security Modules(LSM) in the Linux kernel".
  

However, I'll add the following:

• Fedora is Red Hat Based, Ubuntu is Debian based, and since I'm overly used to Red Hat Products, including rpm and Yum, this is my choice, and BTW, it's Linus Torvalds choice and distro! --According to Wikipedia- .

• Fedora is more for Geeks, Ubuntu is more for Linux novices and starters, there is no clearer than the mandatory Sudo --I know there is workarounds to disable it- while in Fedora you're free to switch to root.
