First, note that there are free clones based on RHEL like
http://www.centos.org.  However any instability in fedora has
so far been only with certain hardware - that is, if you get
it installed and working on a system it will be as likely to
continue to work as any other distribution.  The other issue
is that official support/updates only continues for the current
release and one previous version, so you need to re-install about
once a year or switch to legacy support for security updates.
Depending on what the machine is doing, it may or may not be
worth the trouble to run a recent release.
