Ok. Im trying do decide which Linux distro I am going to put on my spare PC. Ubuntu or Fedora Core 10? What do you suggest?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

For a spare PC, openSUSE may be the last operating system you'll ever need to install on it.

M$Ubuntu is great for day-to-day use because there are many applications that are developed specifically for Ubuntu, like Boxee, Truecrypt, etc.
Fedora is used more in corporate or educational environments where there is specialty support (my university uses Fedora 9).
The great thing is that you can download both, burn them to a CD or DVD and try them by running it off the DVD without installing it, but I would lean towards Ubuntu.

I use Ubuntu mainly for programming in Java and watching Boxee, but I use Windows Vista for my day-to-day machine.
I think that Ubuntu is now a very stable OS and can be used by 90% of home users without much training because it's very similar to windows and all the support you need can be found with a quick Google search.
That is a good answer. I dont want to know what one would suggest to a newbie. I would like to know what you would use yourself. I dont have a lot of experience with Ubuntu but a few of my coworkers run it for everyday use.

Well I think something easier for newbies would also be easier for medium-skilled people. I myself use Ubuntu and love it.
Well I am not exactly a newbie. I like Fedora, I have used it a lot in school. But you have a point, developers do make a lot of software targeting Ubuntu.
