When I was putting together our home computers/network I want all Ubuntu because I wanted something easy to set up, easy to maintain and works together. Once the server was up all of the other computers could see it without me having to do a thing! Now I'm fooling with Fedora on an extra hard drive for the laptop (includes the case, so I can just pull out one hard drive and stick in the other.. very nice!). It is a good distribution but after working with Ubuntu for the past while I have to "re-learn" how to do things the Fedora (Red Hat) way! This isn't difficult, but it does make it take a little more time than it would otherwise on a more familiar distro. I've also had thoughts of virtualizing so as to try different distros and all that, but then it defeats my purpose of wanting something easy to set up and maintain! That, and the RAM upgrade it would require! :) Sounds familiar.
