The battle between linux distros is quite old.

I remember since I began to hack Linux Systems (1998), the great scenario was:

1. Slackware vs Debian
2. RedHat vs SuSE
3. Mandrake vs Conectiva

And “1 x 2 x 3″…  =]

And “1 x 2 x 3″ x Microsoft Windows… =D

My first distro was … oh, I began with FreeBSD, yeah ! And I love it… ;)

Next, I moved to Slackware by obvious reasons and then to Debian/Gentoo…but I also worked with Conectiva, SuSE and RedHat (CentOS, Mandriva, Ubuntu-like, OpenSuSE, Librix and Fedora) in my different jobs.

When I received this notice by Fedora Ambassadors mailing list, it’s not surprised me. Today, this old battle seems to be ended and a convergence is emerging. I see Ubuntu conquering a great amount of space between beginners and advanced users and, of course, enterprise companies too.
