Fedora 11 is currently in beta, and is scheduled for release around May 26, 2009.
I'm currently running Fedora 10 on my desktop. When it was first released, it was a little rough in places, but it's very stable now, but I don't think there were any problems in the LAMP stack or any of the daemons. Most of the trouble I had was with video. I had to buy a couple of NUVIDIA video cards for new adi motherboards; because, the adi driver would freeze a few Gnome desktop windows, including the Add/Remove Software window. The Fedora team is very good about getting updates out to fix bugs, so you could get started early with Fedora 11 and kind of grow into it, as it stabilizes. Besides using my desktop for development in perl and web 2 using the Komodo IDE, I also use it as a multimedia center running Twonkymedia 4.4.11 to play movies to a Sony PS3. I also use the free Vuze application, which keep getting better as a multimedia server. I'm using Fedora 6 for my servers including LAMP, (eg for me that means: Apache Web Server, Perl programming language, and PostgreSQL database server.), and for my Imap email server stack, I use Postfix and Dbmail, which hold the emails in a Postgresql database.
