Fedora uses newer versions of:
Linux kernel
GNOME desktop
Development tools (GCC, Python, etc.)
Latest open-source libraries
This makes Fedora great for developers who want bleeding-edge features without running a rolling-release distro.
Fedora:
Avoids including proprietary drivers and codecs by default
Uses only open-source components unless the user decides otherwise
This is appealing for users who value pure open-source systems.
Fedora ships GNOME exactly as intended by upstream developers, with minimal modification.
Ubuntu modifies GNOME heavily with:
Ubuntu extensions
Custom theming
Snap integration
So Fedora gives the cleanest GNOME experience out of mainstream distros.
Fedora is often chosen by developers because it offers:
Newer compilers and runtimes
Containers and virtualization tools (Podman, Toolbox, libvirt) that are built-in
Better SELinux security implementation

They are all Linux-type operating systems.
Ubuntu uses Upstart, as does Fedora 9 and later. There is no direct equivalent to /etc/inittab, as startup scripts run asynchronously. Each script in /etc/event.d serves a similar purpose to a line on a traditional inittab.
Most desktop Linux distributions (Ubuntu, Fedora, PCLinuxOS, OpenSUSE) are equally suitable for laptops.
Yes. Ubuntu Server, Fedora, and CentOS are popular free operating systems for servers.
I have used various distributions of Linux such as RedHat/Fedora, SuSE and ubuntu and somehow I find Ubuntu the easiest amongst these in terms of HCI. Ubuntu has got good community support, great package management system and its very easy to use.
This is very similar to dual-booting Windows with either Ubuntu or Fedora, as both Fedora's and Ubuntu's installers are able to cope with each other well. The basic process is like this: 1. Install Windows XP 2. Resize the Windows XP partition to make enough space for both Ubuntu and Fedora. A basic setup should have: A. An NTFS partition (for Windows XP) B. A swap partition. Since Ubuntu and Fedora can use the same swap partition, you only need to make one. C. Two ext4 partitions 3. Choose one distro to install first (it doesn't really matter) and select one of the ext4 partitions. 4. After installing, install the other one to the remaining partition. All three systems should appear in the boot menu if done properly. You can select the one you want use when you start the computer. Remember that the distro you install last will be the default selection, and if you want to change the priority, you have to edit the menu.lst / grub.cfg on that system.

There are too many to list, as the it would take many pages to just list the titles the most common distributions are: Centos Redhat Enterprise Debian Ubuntu Slackware Gentoo
I don't see why not. A little archaic though. How about C++ using a Linux distro? I use Ubuntu and Fedora. They're very similar. Fedora probably has more features, but I don't know it as well yet. Fedora detected my network card on my AMD 64 and Ubuntu couldn't. (that is Ubuntu Feisty 7.04) and Fedora that I use is ver. 6. I think they have 7 out now. They are both free and you can try them with a live CD without having to install anything. You can even keep your windoze OS if you want. But, after a while, you find you don't need it. The only reason I still keep win around is for the printer driver. Has to have a propritary microslop driver. I could write one myself, but I really don't have the time. Maybe this winter. Check it out, it'll get you used to working with shells. Just Google ubuntu and fedora (red hat). Have fun LOL.AnswerYou can use C-shell (csh, tcsh) in Unix, and you can write scripts (or programs) for it.
This is usually a matter of contention. The most popular choices are Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Linux Mint, OpenSUSE, and Fedora.
Kubuntu is Ubuntu packaged with the KDE Plasma desktop environment. KDE is known for its fancy looks, bundled with the popularity and support of Ubuntu.
