My guess would be that Ubuntu has a much larger installed base than
Fedora at this point, based on the fact that just about everybody
I know who uses Linux (geeks and non-geeks alike) has at least one
machine running Ubuntu, and no-one I know (except for a Red Hat
engineer!) is running Fedora.

Speaking personally, I have only ever gotten Fedora to install on
one machine among the many that I own or have owned over the course
of the last few years, with that one exception Anaconda has always
crashed at some stage of the installation process!
