Participant[quote=ucodegen]To avoid the bleeding/breaking, I tend to be about 1 rev behind the current… and can pick up ‘updates’ to fix the one installed. That is why I am running FC10 though FC11 is out.[/quote]
I used to do that too until I realized they swiftly cut off support/updates to old Cores after only a year or so. This is the ‘bitten in the ass’ to which I referred. So if you plan on using your machine for more than a year, I wouldn’t recommend Fedora Core unless you’re cool with doing a full system update every year (which isn’t always possible in some environments where downtime is a no-no).

A caveat to using Fedora Core is that it is their “bleeding edge” branch. Normally that is a plus, but it’s bitten me in the ass before. General rule of thumb is to only go with Fedora Core if you are ok with stuff potentially breaking or being incompatible. If you want something stable FC is not the way to go. But if you need the latest versions of everything, FC is sweet.

ParticipantStimulus is bad, but stimulus that actually works is even worse!
