Thanks for the info everyone, I have 7.2 and 7.1 machines at work that I wouldn't dream of putting Rawhide on, although I have a second drive in my home system that I wouldn't mind toasting over and over again for the purpose of learning/seeing whats coming. I'll probably put 7.2 on and replace some of the core (kernel, glibc, etc) and Gnome packages with their Rawhide versions.
Thanks,
Jason

Rawhide is not usually installable. Occasionally it can be, but not
often. It's not meant to be a release.

Yes. It's bleeding edge stuff. Don't try it on production machines.

Better to install 7.2, then try installing Rawhide packages until
something breaks. I'll warn you that often the breakage is subtle and
maddening, so try not to lose sleep over it.
