To be honest, I think Fedora is more "up to date" with their ham packages than Ubuntu/Debian, however, I could be mistaken. I just use Ubuntu because I've used Ubuntu for years at home. At work, I do the Redhat thing. There are a lot of people who swear by Fedora.

Worst case? If there's a missing package in the repos, you're just a "git clone; configure; make && make install" away from getting it, on any distro.
