I've been running FC6 since release candidate 2.  There were some
initial glitches with the RC versions, but FC6 as released is quite
stable and good.  Lots of updates, though, and read up on SeLinux.
It uses it a lot (you can turn it off, of course).

I've got it running on Dell 1850s, 1950s, 2850s, 2950s and those big
ol' 6450s and 6550s without trouble.  Personally, I have it on a HP
Pavillion (64-bit Athlon X2), HP ZV6000 laptop (Athlon 64), an Opteron
1510 (64 bit with virtualization) and an Athlon 32.  Works well on all,
and Xen is cool on the virtualized machines...the Pavillion runs Linux
on one VM, and Windows Server 2003 on another (under strenuous protest
I might add...I detest Winblows of any sort).

An important note: There is no difference between an SMP and a UP
kernel now.  The kernel that gets installed autosenses SMP and fires
it up, so don't freak out.
