I've had the same experience. Fedora has been very stable and of
professional quality, for the most part. Especially when you put it
side-by-side with something like Mandrake. That's my major quandry now.
If (as someone pointed out in a previous post) it's true that there
still is a reasonably priced and supported NON-ENTERPRISE OS you can buy
from Red Hat, I might go for that. But then again, I've been spoiled by
Gnome 2.4. Not sure I'd want to go back to Gnome 2.2, older versions of
Evolution, etc. That's the tease of Fedora. It's very good and it
includes the latest stable stuff.
