I'll never understand what Ubuntu has that other distributions
don't. I've never seen a head to head comparison between Ubuntu, and
FC, say. Yes, there's critics and users reviews but they don't
compare Ubuntu to anything else. Overall it's their subjective "it
felt good" or "I liked that feature", but that doesn't do it for me.
I'd like to see what's unique in Ubuntu, that I might have a use
for. Is Ubuntu more stable? Is it faster? Does it have better
hardware detection? Does it have a different update policy?
Interestingly, I installed Ubuntu 6.06 on my laptop to see if it'd
handle suspend better than FC5. I found it didn't right out of the
box but a very quick google led me to a page on their wiki that
explained the steps needed. I had it working in a few minutes. They
also supported my ipw3945 card without needing to enable outside repos
or install the driver from source. +2 for Ubuntu in the hardware
detection category on my laptop.
I've yet to manage to duplicate the success with suspend in Ubuntu on
FC5 and that's rather irritating. I know now that it's not a simple
matter of the hardware not supporting it. It's a matter of twiddling
the right switches. And those switches aren't well marked in FC. :(
FWIW, I tried the same thing with SUSE 10.1 and it failed the suspend
test but it did enable the ipw3945 driver easier than FC. Next up is
Gentoo. :)

If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked
