[ale] ubuntu versus fedora

[Bea Martinez]

I was asked if you can load just Ubuntu only, or does a layer of Linux need to be on the drive?  I'm not technical, but a friend asked...thought I'd get your opinion.

I just moved to F12 from F11, and I can say that F12 has fixed all of what I saw as bug in Network Manager.  I had to uninstall it from F11, it was so crappy.  But with F12, I appear to have no issues at all with the wired connections, and I was able to get the wireless to connect with only minimal research.  SO Fedora 12 might be worth a try if Network Manager is your bete noir.
