I think part of this comes from what Ubuntu is prepared to install by default.
Despite its "free OSS" claims it installs by default packages such as
wireless fireware, NTFS support, flash drivers that have dubious licensing.
With Fedora you don't get this by default, but have to get from repos like
livna. Personally, I respect fedora for what it does, but I suspect this is
part of the difference.
