Alex is right, FC2 won't be going legacy until FC4 is out.  I would 
stick with FC2 for about a month or so until some good faq's are put up 
about possible issues.  Try to learn your way around yum updates, get 
familiar with everything.  FC2 is pretty stable now and all the issues 
are well documented at this point and easily searched on google or the 
archives.  It will probably be a few weeks before any really bad issues 
with FC3 are known and fixed.

I guess it is a matter of where you want to be:
- Absolute bleeding edge - FC4 test
- Early Adopter - FC3
- Stable - FC2
- Really Stable - FC1 Legacy or RHE 3
