This is an unfair flame to make and simply goes to far in simply 
dismissing an entire operating system.  This kind of comment is totally 
unhelpful for these reasons:

1) You provide ZERO information about your hardware.
2) You are not searching for a solution, you only declare Fedora to be crap.
3) SMP x86_64 works for MANY other people, including me.  This is 
clearly not indicative of a useless operating system.

This kind of post makes developers who put their blood, sweat and tears 
into trying their best to simply ignore you.  Can we instead try to work 
toward a solution together, and constructively?

As a first step, can you try the newer test kernels from Arjan's repository?
