Rahul,

  Also keep in mind that Fedora should not be
competing with Ubuntu.  If that were the case then you
would have to do much more work

Ubuntu <-> Regular Fedora
Kubuntu <-> Fedora with KDE
Xbuntu <-> Fedora with XFCE
Edubuntu <-> Fedora with Educational Software
Ubuntu Christian Edition <-> Fedora For Christians
Fluxbuntu <-> Fedora with Fluxbox window manager
..., et all Ubuntu Universe.

There are too many choices for *buntu, so why do you
want to compete.  People are here because they like
Fedora and why is everyone getting mad at someone else
because they prefer cd images, ie. traditional cd
images, disk 1, disk 2, disk 3, disk 4, ..., to what
is currently being offered.  Timothy is correct when
he says this

 "It is not meant to be an obstacle race."

If it were, look at how many distributions Fedora
would have to make just to catch up.

Fedora will always have its advantages and its
disadvantages versus any linux distribution.  The goal
here should not be to condemn/humiliate users when
they want something.  Also users should not blackmail
Fedora or threathen to change distributions.  This is
also not cool.  Like some other people on this list
have already mentioned, silently leave the premises
and no hard feelings will be kept.  

Regards,

Antonio
