      Fedora makes the most sense to me. But I can see how a cautious bunch might go for the perceived safety of Ubuntu.

        Fedora being IBM, a US company, would make it a weird choice for “we need to be less dependant on US”…

          Linux, being the Linux Foundation, a US company, would make it a weird choice for “we need to be less dependent on the US” but, Western Europe being a load rather than a prime mover is nothing new.

            I thought the Linux foundation was not a company… My bad, in the us , everything is business, isn’t it ?

              Per Wikipedia:

              A company is a legal entity representing an association of legal persons with a shared objective, such as generating profit or benefiting society.

              “Company” is a vague almost meaningless term, like “animal.”

              The Linux Foundation is a 501©6 non-profit corporation. Americans are more likely to be familiar with 501©3, which covers charity organizations, such as the American Red Cross and St. Judes Children’s Research Hospital. 501©6 covers trade associations, like the American Medical Association, the American Bar Association, the National Association of Realtors and the US Chamber of Commerce.

              As a trade association, the Linux Foundation is not itself a for-profit business, but they have a lot to do with for-profit businesses. Maintaining the world’s most popular kernel is chief among them.
