Hi
I guess I can add my psychotic two cents. I understood Fedora to be seriously beta, testing software, which I was encouraged to use, and potientially break on the rack of weird hardware or hard usage, in return for letting people know about the experience.
There is some pretty serious efforts going on to make sure that is not beta software and it is latest but robust.

I think the current FC5 test 2 looks good. YMMV.
Ok. Perhaps I should have added quotes around "beta". And I didn't mean to sting some hardworking people who are busy keeping bugs out of the field. Still, I understand Fedora releases to be works in progress with a limited expected lifetime, the potiential for issues which need resolving, and support a user community.
