fedora vs ubuntu

i'm looking to install linux again, everytime i do something happens and it doesn't stay installed for long.

i had fedora installed last time but everyone here keeps recommending ubuntu. what i want to know is why is fedora 3.3GB download and ubuntu only 700mb ?

is it worth downloading the CD or DVD version of ubuntu ?

cd version it is then, saves me 2.5GB in downloads

next question, i want it as a dual boot with vista (beta version obviously), is this possible ? last time i tried a dual boot with XP and fedora, fedora wiped all the partitions off my drive

if i partition the drive up into 3 partitions will i be able to access the 3rd partition with both o/s' ? i'm sure i remember asking this the last time, was such a long time ago though.

is there a lot of driver support, i'm thinking of installing it on my shuttle ?
