Fedora has the advantage to a RHEL/CentOS user of having the same 
install/admin tools.  But if you are turning the box over to someone 
else, Ubuntu makes much more of an effort to be user friendly.  And they 
haven't been quite so bad as Fedora about refusing to admit that 
proprietary code exists.
