Ah, Rudyard Kipling, called our city the city with "All hell for a 
basement."

I use Fedora at home and work with very few problems.  At home I came a 
across a major headache last night that I submitted a bug report on.

I do agree that many bugs just seem to get ignored but some of them are 
outside the mandate of the Fedora team such as KDE 4 issues.  Others 
are, I feel personal as Moto4Lin not using the latest SVN as other 
packages do.

For reliability, I find that Fedora 11 (at home) is quite stable and F10 
(at work) only get rebooted when there is a kernel update.  I do fear 
that it is getting bloated more like Windows though.

Fedora is more bleeding edge and if you want to stick with older 
software, then go with Centos as has been advised over the years.  It is 
your choice.
