I initially ran FC4 on my laptop (HP Pavilion zv6015) with no problems 
once I got it installed (install needed "nofb" or the display died 
during the install).  I skipped FC5 and went to FC6 when FC4 went to 
legacy support/unsupported.  FC6 on the laptop is stable as long as I 
don't activate the wireless NIC.  If I do, I get a kernel panic within 
24 hours of turning on the wireless.  I don't use the wireless very 
frequently so trying bcm43xx instead of ndiswrapper hasn't made it to 
the top of my "to do" list. YMMV.

I'm planning on moving to CentOS 5 once it's released.  My server 
running CentOS 4.X has been stable as a rock.

Cheers,
Dave
