As a personal linux installation on a relatively standard system, I 
recommend it highly. The installation was smooth for all my test 
systems, and things just seem to run better than in recent older RHs.

As a specific example, I was never able to get a USB camera to work 
properly with RH8 or RH9 (different systems) but it came right up under 
gtkam on Fedora-Core-1.

After watching this list for a while, most people here with problems are 
dealing with more complex configurations that usual, home-compiled 
add-ons, or non-standard hardware.

I should note that I'm a big fan of clean installs rather than 
'upgrades' when possible... which does tend to help a bit.
