Long ago, another Fedora user emailed this lament:

"...I know rawhide eats babies...".

How right that is, and Adam is correct too. If you use rawhide, it will 
break on you. Rawhide will eat babies.

Just remember that each time you install from Rawhide.

Personally I just pick up a new hard drive and slip it in my laptop and 
I use that to install rawhide, alpha or beta Fedora releases.
