Fedora 18 "Spherical Cow"
-
The new version of Fedora has been available for days, and since I couldn't try it before, I recommend it because it has some interesting new features. A new login, a different notification area, a button on the dock to access the app's menu directly, etc.
I leave you a very interesting review: Fedora 18: Lo bueno, lo malo y lo feo (Review y Análisis) ~ Xenode Systems Blog

I would like to try Fedora, but I get out of.Deb, Apt, and so on and it already gives me a hard time xD
-
For me the change was very little traumatic to be honest, and the reason is that Ubuntu has Unity as its main desktop, Fedora I know always has the latest and with Gnome, which doesn't mean it's the best but it's a good alternative. One thing that Ubuntu I think didn't do and Fedora does is that every time it updates the kernel it leaves you the option in Grub to boot from that point, so for example if an update doesn't work or you mess something up by accident you just have to boot with a previous version and fix the mess. -
Ubuntu also leaves you now, it didn't before.
-
With Ubuntu I had to delete the system a couple of times, but with Fedora it has always worked for me to boot with the previous ones, maybe it was just a coincidence.

I'm not saying that it was included a long time ago, to test I recently installed ubuntu 12.10 and it appears as an option in grub to boot with 3 or 4 different versions in both normal and safe mode. And it works, it works because I've messed it up at least 2 times xD. Lately I only had windows, looking back a bit, about 5 years, windows and suse, and further back about 9 or 10, windows and mandrake, that's why I can't tell you when they included it. -
I have been lucky so far not to have over-installed any distro.
Of those that are outside of Debian, which is the one I have always used and liked the most, that's why I have always liked Ubuntu (until the moment they put in Unity, since then Kubuntu, Xubuntu or Lubuntu), I have tried SuSE, Fedora, Mandriva at the time, etc. But I have tried practically all of them, but with the big differences they end up having, and having already used Debian for a long time, I get lost.
The truth is that I ended up in Debian because it was the most Mac friendly at the time when I started installing Linux on my computers.
