I'm another Fedora to Ubuntu convert.  I still have servers and a couple
test laptops running older versions of Fedora and often switch between
the two distros.  I suppose each distro has their distinct nuances, but
it's a great learning experience.  You always have the net and your
friend Google to search for answers.  I haven't found any critical
issues with Ubuntu for my needs.  Just a couple of challenges along the
way.

One nuance that I'm still getting accustomed to is the use of sudo to do
most root tasks in Ubuntu.  I suppose it's a Debian thing.  From a
security perspective, it's definitely beneficial, although I do find
myself su'ing to root once in a while.
