I like Fedora GNU/Linux since it's split from Red Hat. It appears to be moving in Debian's direction, i.e. it's a community-driven distribution. The key difference between it and Debian, though, is that it will likely have more/better commercial support since it's the baseline for Red Hat's commercial distribution. |

Fedora Core 2 by default will hard-wire network interface eth0 to the MAC address of your network card, which seems unneccessary, and makes cloning system disks difficult. You can change this behavior using the system-config-network tool. Choose "Ethernet" then "Edit" then on the "Hardware" tab you can un-check the box that tells it to use a specific MAC address. Don't do this if you've got more than one ethernet card, though. |
