Fedora 11 vs Ubuntu 9.10
My small and very personal comparison between Fedora 11 (which I run on my laptop) and Ubuntu 9.10 which is my main Linux distribution.
yum
vsapt-get
yum
is a lot slower thanapt-get
- why do I need connectivity when using
yum search
- Why does
yum
defaults to ‘N’ (no) when I ask it to install software?
All in all I like apt-get
a lot better.
- Default resolution
- Ubuntu 9.10 configured my EeeBox and monitor out of the box, Fedora 11 didn’t.
- Plymouth graphical boot
Very nice to see this in Fedora 11, I want this too for Ubuntu. Too bad Ubuntu does not use this in 9.10. It will happen in 10.04 (I heard).
- Laptop
-
My new EeePC laptop has a Poulsbo video chip (thanks Intel for screwing me!) which Fedora 11 supports wonderful thanks to AdamW.
-
Ubuntu 9.10 does not support this chip, period.
So I’m happily running Fedora on my laptop and Ubuntu on my other systems.
