I think there's a kernel on davej's page that works with non-GNU 
drivers. I'm certain it'll be released soon on the update channels.

As for my opinion, it's a good release. Only found a few minor issues 
that arent show stoppers (for example, when doing a DVD install it still 
shows the installer loading metadata for a new "iso" and the logs read 
"changing from iso 3 to 4" , for example). The only reason I gave up on 
installing the x86_64 version is that I got bored of hunting all the 
plugins, doing weird tricks to get plugins to work, etc. But then I 
installed FC5 i386. 

Btw, if you use a new syskonnect/marvel gigabit ethernet card, it may be 
better to hold on the install.. The new opensource driver is still a bit 
unstable when you're doing big transfers (we've tested it on 2.6.15, not 
on FC5 final) and the syskonnect driver doesnt work with kernels newer 
than 2.6.15.
