simplicity. used for web browsing, terminal and listen to music. light. I tried installing Debian. Half an hour later the install crashed :)

That's odd. No insight as to what caused it?

Generally shouldn't be much of a difference you'd notice for those tasks other than the desktop environment.

the install was taking about 30 min. It said something like 'software install' error. Continue. Error loop. On the other hand I tried Fedora and it installed in 5 min. no errors :) yeah you are right not much difference. Ubuntu Unity and in Fedora Gnome 3 look almost the same to me. Although I tried Gnome3 on Ubuntu before too.
