Erm, it didn't really seem to offer anything that made up for the loss 
of APT. Apt is Debian's equivalent of RPM, except it doesn't have the 
problems of dependencies (99.9% of the time). Also, Debian users can 
type "apt-get install" then the name of just about any imaginable Linux 
software and it's all setup and ready to go in minutes.

Fedora has some nice touches - some graphical config tools and the 
little thing that puts you through to "root" when you try to do 
something in a GUI environment that needs root access. It made it no 
easier to find my CD drives than Morphix did and it had me very 
frustrated every time I tried to install something. Oh, and the Red Hat 
up2date tool is bloody slow.
