I will not start a debatte if Ubuntu or Fedora is a better choice or even if 
there is a better one of theese two distributions. 

Reading your two questions my first idea was, 'What the hell has starting a 
debatte about the pro's and con's of two GNU/Linux distributions to do with 
promoting Free Software?' ;-))

IMHO you have to be a very good Linux  user, or better you have to be someone  
who has a couple of years experience in administration and use of Linux 
systems to define exactly what is the difference between this two. 

In your position I would be glad that my collegues are also advocating Free 
Software and are not proprietary software zealots as often people in 
companies are...

Wouldn't it be better to come together and promote Free Software to those who 
don't know of it's benefits?
