F9 is certainly ready for primetime now (in my opinion).  I run it on a 
half dozen 64-bit opteron servers and it works fantastic.  For my 
production systems I tend to wait at least a month before upgrading 
versions, just to let the kinks get worked out, but in the main, it's 
been a great OS for me.
