As you can see from my sig, I've been around nearly as long as Leslie S and that RHCE down there is the Red Hat certified engineer.. try it some time!
When Rh first started Fedore Core, I jumped ship, tried SuSE, then Ubuntu, Slackware etc .. I came back to Fedora at about 10 and have used it ever since. If I'm going to build a serious server (and I do often) then I use CentOS, but I would never use it for a desktop. I'm now using Fedora 17 on an ACER laptop and on an ASUS MBoard based desktop .. in both cases with KDE installed and Pulse Audio removed, and both machines are superb and very stable. I can't remember the last time either had to be rebooted because of the OS. That laptop has bleeding edge hardware on board, and Fedore detected everything! Even when I plugged in my Videotron USB cell modem, it not only detected it, but offered to configure it for Videotron, Bell, Rodgers or Telus networking! I agree with the other posters, try to use the right words, and try to be sure of what you complain about before pressing send!
