That's great for a home laptop or personal server or something where lots of bugfixes and upgrades are great and if something goes wrong, you can always play with it.

How'd that happen." Then I either try to workaround it, or I just shrug and assume that the *next* set of patches a few days later will fix whatever went wrong (and it almost always does). That's fine for my laptop. I wouldn't want to try to run a business on it -- though I'm sure many do, and I'm sure they are happy with it. > > > 2) Fedora goes end of life quickly. F18 is not a good choice because of that, for instance. If you want to use fedora, you have to buy into doing installs/upgrades every year, and maybe even more frequently.

Would you recommend using something like Ubuntu instead of Fedora for work related system? I moved from Ubuntu to Arch to Fedora. Fedora provides both latest innovations in Linux world and ease of use over something like Arch Linux. I have recently started learning Java/Android. That means I need to focus more on learning Android and least on how to get something working on Fedora or fixing breakage that comes from flux of upgrades (Example -A bug that left Gnome users locked out and Bumblebee, VirtualBox may require special assistance at the time of kernel upgrade). Not to mention Google recommends Ubuntu for Android development. Wondering what other folks have experienced.
