This basically describes my path and conclusions. Fedora is currently
much better than what it was, but for a couple of releases it was so
"cutting edge" that it had issues. I liked the  earlier versions and I
like the last two, but there was a while there where I didn't like
Fedora much at all. Still prefer CentOS, though.
