I have been running the 64 bit beta since it first came out on F8.  Now 
I am running it on F10 on a fresh install.  No issues that I have come 
across yet.  Seems to be stable from what I have seen.  Only one site 
didn't work but I am not sure if that was a flash issue or something else.

Now if Adobe would get a Shockwave application for Linux it would be great.
