Kernel bug in Ubuntu => You're stuck with it for the next 6 months.
Oh, and it's not just Ubuntu. At least they release often. In Debian stable,
you're stuck with it for a couple years!

Kernel bug in Fedora => Chances are the next update from the kernel stable
branch a few days later fixes it, or if not, chances are the next rebase to
the next kernel a few weeks later fixes it.
