Actually, I thought that he was referring to Fedora: it's a 5 disc
install. I actually do prefer Fedora over [K]Ubuntu, but I still
subscribe to the Ubuntu and kubuntu lists because that's the distro
that I install on new users machines.
And I personally prefer KDE. Gnome is great for those used to the
Bill's-way-or-the-highway attitude, but I like customization and
tweaking. F-Spot does rule, however!
