I wouldn't go as far as calling Fedora a free version of RHEL, more like a free product of RedHat. But if there is one, it's definitely CentOS.

Ubuntu is the real allrounder. That's why I prefer to go with it!

If by allrounder you mean highly funded mainstream fork of Debian that has modified versions of nearly every package, then I agree with your statement.

At first I liked Fedora over some others that I used because it has colored text for files on commands like "ls". OH, and syntax highlighting for many languages in VI. All through SSH.
