Yeah, those books are written around Ubuntu. I'm OK with it because
Ubuntu is easy to use and I somewhat know it.

Ubuntu does miss patches and back ports on occassion. For example,
lack of Grub2/Tboot back porting into 12.04 LTS (it broke my multiboot
system when Ubuntu writes its flavor of Grub2 over Fedora); and lack
of GPG on 12.04LTS (the broken dependencies and fixes were not back
ported).

I tend to like Fedora for testing because its usually the most up to
date. Its too bad it only lives for 6 month or so.
