I am guessing your systems were minimum installs withe the required 
components added after install or you did a server install of some sort 
without installing X..

Here is my experience, I have two systems, both are P4 2.4G HT systems..

System one has a minimum install with the required software added 
(apache, mysql, php, etc).. This system is perfectly stable with the 
standard FC SMP kernels..

System two has a workstation install and will freeze when cron or 
anacron run the respective routines... It will ocasionally hang at other 
times too..

My solution on System two was to build a kernel from the vanilla source 
on kernel.org and since then I have had a perfectly stable PC..

Later..
