Acutally,  I am using FC2 and it seems to work much
better thant FC3 or 4.  My audio works without any
problems (plays CDs, system event sounds are not
distorted), my video has no problems what so ever
(Matrox G450), and I have yet to have to run down
5000 missing libs everytime I go to install a 
addon piece of software.

I am still playing with FC4 on a secondary boot drive
but so far I still with FC2 for my main system.

I did try FC3 and it was not as bad as FC4 but it
did break the system sound events (CDs played ok).
I am using a univeral standard real Sound Blaster 32
card.  Should be no problem with any release of
Fedora, but oh well.....
