Why Not Try Mageia?
I agree that Fedora goes too far with the minimalization concept, but that's because the design goal seems to be the corporate desktop. Just look at all the fiddling one must do to enable the extra repos and make the installation consumer friendly. It reminds me of tweaking a Windows 98 install.
And moving to Ubuntu? Why learn a different way of system management and packaging when you already know the way the RedHat/Fedora is _supposed_ to work? That makes no sense.
I installed the current beta for Mageia3 and it went without a hitch; everything just worked. Other than the longer release cycle, I have found nothing to complain about with Mageia.
Mandrake -> Mandriva -> Mageia have always been about RedHat "done better". It's worth checking out if you are dissatisfied with Fedora.
