This disturbs me. I hear great things about Ubuntu, but AFAICT, Fedora is 
the best and most cutting edge distro AND it's RPM based. I'm sorry, but 
I have no desire to move to a deb based system. 

If I was to contemplate a different distro, is there anything that is RPM 
based that people can say better things about?
