Ya need to cut down on the caffiene, maybe?

I am not a 'Fedora Fanboy'. I am actually a Debian fanatic.

When Ubuntu begins working on stuff similar to GCC development, kernel development, Stateless linux, Selinux, GFS and related clustering technology, ldap directory systems and other such stuff then get back to me about Ubuntu being cutting edge.

This isn't Ubunt vs Fedora or any such stupid thing. I don't use either. I am just explaining why IBM would choose to use Fedora as the OS of choice for their SDK and other things.

Ubuntu does good things that nobody else has been able to do. Such as setting up a good support infrastructure for new users to Linux. That is not insignificant.

Just for completeness, I have to say that Gentoo's wiki is a mine of very good information, too. In fact, Gentoo is the first distro one would expect on bleeding edge products, no?

I wouldn't be suprised if Gentoo people have a working PS3 version right now that is in beta state.

They already have one developer working on it. Progress can be tracked here.
