I so often hear that Fedora breaks things.  I've been running F-11 and
F-12 on a server as KVM host, without issues.  I've been using F8-F13 on
several computers (3 laptops and a workstation), and I can't really say
it has broken anything on my setups.  It might be I'm not using it
"right" to experience such breakage.  Use cases are everything from
"mail, surf and OO.org" to development tasks

In fact, for me, Fedora has been way more stable and solid than the time
I was running Ubuntu (from Gibson to Ibix), where I got worried every
time there were new updates available.

But rightfully enough, I've never tried CentOS on the desktop.  Maybe
CentOS 6 will be a good choice for that.
