You would need to try them yourself to get a real idea, though they are broadly based on the same thing.
Ubuntu is as good as any mate. Try the live CD if you want to try it without any commitment. I have. http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu

This is the latest skinny on Fedora vs Ubuntu:
For users who are already familiar with Linux, Fedora 9 is an excellent choice. Robust security features and installation options make it somewhat more versatile than Ubuntu, which offers a more streamlined (and therefore more restricted) installation. For most users, though, including millions interested in trying Linux for the first time, Fedora lacks the polish and ready-to-run simplicity of its more popular rival.

Ubuntu 8.0.4 offers a level of functionality comparable to that of Mac OS and Windows, from delivery to installation to daily use. Unfortunately, the ties that bind all Linux distributions - primarily a lack of support for major Windows- and Mac-based business, design, and gaming applications - still hold Ubuntu back from mass popularity. For users with such moderate computing needs as Web browsing, e-mail, and basic document creation, however, Hardy is a compelling option.
