Yes, you should definitely at least try it. Of the RPM-based distros, it is one of the most popular, most supported, and has a huge repository of great 3rd party software. That's strange about SUSE corrupting your Ubuntu filesystem. I've never installed those two together, but I have just recently installed Ubuntu+Fedora (+Windows, bleah) and I can tell you I had no problems with either Linux OS.
When you do install Fedora, don't let the installer auto-create the filesystems for you, or it might try to reclaim the Ubuntu partitions. Do it manually, and you should be okay.
good luck!
I had an ISO for Fedora 10, and it actually looks very nice. I am using KDE, though, so I have not yet really tried Fedora with GNOME.
Anyway, I find it strange that openSUSE would do that to your Ubuntu installation. The same as the poster before, me I have not tried installing them in one hard drive, but then again, I have not yet tried installing two linuxes in one system.
openSUSE is also nice, though. It looks clean and green.
It is said that FC11 would be more stable than other prior distros but it wont be fully error free. and mind you get more knowledge about system when u get errors and bugs
I hear that kvm (virtualization) is represented very well on the new release, and I can't wait to give it a try.
@Goineasy9,
That's encouraging to hear about F11 - I'm looking forward to the release!
I'm talking like... not even two hours before I got bored.
So, if you like Ubuntu and are running on a laptop, stay with that. If you want to check out fedora, then run it in a VM until you are convinced that you would prefer that to Ubuntu. They are both state-of-the-art operating systems.
in my opinion you should stick with a clean ubuntu installation. i have tried SuSe, debian and other distros as well but i always returned to ubuntu.it is the easiest way to get your job done. fedora gives me "the Windows" impression as far as GUI goes, and if you decided to ditch Windows than ubuntu should be your choice. you can still try other distros on a virtual machine, this way you don't mess up your system!!!
