I used to use Fedora. I guess it was OK. These days, I prefer Ubuntu. I find it simpler and I like apt better than yum. Not that I use Linux all that much; I mostly live inside my OSX terminal.
- rantanplan 11y agoCould you explain what you like better in apt? To me it doesn't make sense. apt-get, apt-file, apt-cache, apt-blah. And apart from apt-get, the others are not even in the default install(IIRC). Why? Seriously, I don't get it. With yum, there's only yum. Plus I think that yum handled more gracefully iterrupted operations, but maybe they fixed that in apt by now.

- gradstudent 11y ago> Could you explain what you like better in apt? It has been some years since I used Fedora (FC5 or FC6). I remember the default yum repositories were missing utilities I wanted and I was also installing stuff from RPM files more often than I would have liked. Another reason for switching was Ubuntu seemed to have a bigger community and it was easier to get help (at the time, I was still pretty new). Plus it was so much easier to get started with Ubuntu's Live CDs.
