guys.....please explain to me......

ubuntu edgy is around 700mb and having almost all useful application n other stuff, whereas big b fedora come in 5-6 cds, so what the hell have they put in those cd.....considering both that both the os is equally good.

Thats coz UBuntu is a light weight distro and Fedora is a full fledged distro with GNOME,KDE,XFCE preinstalled and many other packages preinstalled that u need to download for Ubuntu!

why is it that fedora scales at 3.5 GB and ubuntu comes in a single cd.

does fedora core have a hell lot of features than ubuntu

offtopic:

which is better 64 bit or 32 bit editions

Cos fedora packs in a lot of software in the DVD/CD's. Whereas ubuntu likes to keep it at minimum. But if you look at the final availability of optimised packages for both the distros, online, fedora has just about 8000-9000 rpm's compared to 18000+ for ubuntu. Fedora has just 1 DVD/5 CD's compared to debian, from where ubuntu is derived, which has 3 DVD's/14-16 CD's.
And for 32 bit v/s 64 bit, there was a nice discussion b/w eddie and mediator on the topic. It should be on the first or second page. No need to get into the geeky discussion. Just read the conclusion and select what suits you.
