Agreed, Ubuntu on the laptop worked so much nicer for me than Fedora.

When I used Ubuntu the wireless worked out of the box for me.
Additionally the 'special' keys worked correctly too on the laptop.

On the desktop, Ubuntu "felt" nicer, but I found it a bit of a
nuisance that *many many* things had to be added for development. In
summary, Fedora makes for a much better development system, whereas
Ubuntu is much better for a novice desktop user. IMO.
