Fedora never claims to support anything more than ext2\/ext3, it just so happens if the reviewer had a clue, he&#8217;d have realised that booting with <tt>linux xfs<\/tt> or <tt>linux reiserfs<\/tt> is what is used to get those options enabled. Besides which, Reiser and SELinux don&#8217;t play nice, so it really isn&#8217;t recommended.<\/p>\n<p>Come to first booting, and the icon placements and nice desktop integration on Ubuntu. That&#8217;s not upstream GNOME (if Red Hat pulled something like this, goodness, the bad press). Fedora&#8217;s OpenOffice.org does not crash the system when you try to use the spell-checker &#8211; you installed all the languages so it takes time to read it in. Thats OpenOffice.org in general. Does junk mail filtering work in Ubuntu?<\/p>\n<p>Surely the media support on Ubuntu and Fedora is the same. There is no MP3 support or other proprietary codecs &#8211; its all ogg and open stuff, damnit. I&#8217;d agree that the Synaptic integration on Ubuntu is good &#8211; we need that for YUM, hopefully FC4 will see system-config-packages and yum more integrated. <\/p>\n<p>Urgh, why do I bother.
