I have found Fedora to suck ass. I'll probably get flamed for this, but I switched to Suse immediately after trying FC1 on 3 machines. It installed on a few, but I found a lot of missing packages I grew accustomed to on RH, one such one being pine. I know it's a licensing thing, but seriously, get over it people. Also, I had RH 9 on a box and I tried to upgrade it to FC1. It's a bad sign when the installer crashes consistently in the same section over and over again as I try to reinstall. Sure enough, this was a bug in FC1 that several people on news groups had also mentioned. So, FC1 was not even close to stable and usable for me. I'm happily using Suse 9 right now, even though I could do without the yast garbage always reconfiguring my apps on it's own.
