"Mess up" is a bit of a vague term, because you can have difficulty with
FC1.  But once you get FC1 configured the way you need it, you should
see few terrible problems.  OK, Evolution dumps core on me every once in
a while, but that's about it.

But FC1 brings with it the work of a lot of people who have tested it
and taken time to report bugs in the core OS and in the packages
delivered with it.  I can testify that the response to my bug reports,
even when I hit a duplicate issue, has been prompt and courteous. 
There's a lot of effort here.

This is an overstatement.  After all, from a certain point of view, FC1
is "experimental", too.  On certain hardware, even a commercial OS could
be called experimental.

Though I have not tried FC2, there is plenty of evidence that it runs.

If you are looking for a low-cost OS, FC1 might be what you are looking
for.  The original poster (Brittany, as I recall) was looking to avoid
the burden of a lot of updates and looking to learn about Linux.  It
would not be unreasonable, in that case, to purchase Red Hat
Professional Workstation and get familiar with Linux relying on their
support; then striking out with Fedora.
