Hi Nikolaus I'm thinking that you could make yourself a list of what apps you would like to have and another of what apps you really need to do your thing for both and compare. I have not found the problem you mention, of apps for one that are not on another.
I was a Fedora user since Red Hat 6.5 and about 18 months ago switched to Ubuntu 10 which does everything I need, then came Fedora 14 so I loaded it onto another hard drive and am quite chuffed because I have the best of both worlds. For me there is almost nothing to pick between them, I enjoy the differences particularly with trying to set up multi install in Drupal and SELinux on Fedora 14 Be warned, in Fedora you will get many, many SELinux reports until you teach it what is acceptable to you and what is not. That for me was a nuisance. I have never bothered with Ubuntu one, in my reckoning that technology is still new enough to be avoided unless one knows what one is doing and has strong reasons for using it, I don't.
