[nflug] Fedora 7 Review

[anthonyriga]

I dont miss it either using Ubuntu plus dont miss the
bloat of Fedora. Novell Suse is bloated too. One thing
I do like about Fedora is the easyness of setting up
apache and sendmail because Redhat Disto was the first
distro I learned on. Although it might be just as
easier using Ubuntu server. I have noticed that
different distros put their files in different places
with makes it confusing.
