Hi
Ubuntu is Debian based but with less stability than Debian. Sorry ....
I've been working with Debian system for 12 years. I'm very happy about 
stability, security but I'm not happy concerning Debian Digikam version: 
too old (2.6) for me....
My question: what do you think about Fedora for professional use, about 
its stability, especially concerning mysql + Digikam ?
