Been dissappointed on the Fedora front. Downloaded the DVD but it doesnt show install menus correctly(garbled). Tried the CD but it fails during the Live Mode at autologin :( It hangs after that.

Debian has this policy of releasing things when it is ready :D . I have been waiting for lenny to go stable and I has been months. It was SUPPOSED :D to be released in September 2008.

I find MDV partitioner [installer ] better than Ubuntu. As far as uniqueness none distro has some killer features. The main features lies in the core software like package manager , GUI installer and tools..

lol....according to you then it is better to assemble everything (kernel, apps.......) and make our own distro or even customise arch.
