I tried Fedora Core 4 shortly after it was released (which was not very long ago). It seems like a nice distro, but the multimedia support is horrid! With Ubuntu I was able to get my multimedia working 100% after a few minutes with the excellent Ubuntu Guide. With Fedora, I literally spent hours trying to find the right RPM repositories with the multimedia codecs I needed. Even after all that effort the video playback just simply wasn't as smooth as in Ubuntu.
Bottom line: for the average desktop user I would have to recommend Ubuntu 5.04 over Fedora Core 4.
