Fedora has not been completely without incident.  For example, the issue
some people saw where MySQL startup reported as "FAILED" but the server
was in fact running.  Obviously Fedora is not going to be "unreliable"
in the sense of having a "Blue Screen of Death", but the RHEL versions
are (theoretically, at least) more "polished".  It's just a question of
how much and how often the software's been run through QA testing.
