I have started running Linux exclusively (no multi boot with M$) on my
laptop 5 years ago and my first version of Linux was RH7. Since then, i
have upgraded to every subsequent version of RH and Fedora
(RH7.1,7.2,8,9,FC1,2,3,4,5,6) on my laptop and have changed the make and
model of laptop as well. I can say that, i *never* had a problem with
installation. Also, i run Fedora on my Desktop (which i have assembled)
and never had a problem with the installation. But, i am not saying that
others can't have issues with the installer of Fedora on a specific
hardware but, in general installation is very stable. I have come across
certain situations where the NIC driver was not part of the kernel and
had to download from the vendor site and install it to connect to the
internet. In this case, i have to make use of my other machine to
download and copy the driver to the new install.
