I'm posting from FC2, and although no longer supported works just fine. I do have other FC installs on my drives up to F8, and I think I'd always suggest, that is if you have sufficient harddrive space, to retain your current FC install, and install the latest FC version on some free space on your harddrive. At least that way you can dual boot, and if there are problems with the latest version, as you are having with KDE 4.0, you can always revert to booting F8, and using that. I do also have Debian versions available, and have upgraded those with little or no problems, although KDE 4.0 hasn't come into the equation yet. Debian Lenny (testing) has some problems when updating from time to time, and most recently the mouse went out to lunch, with single clicks being registered as double clicks. That's fixed now, but it's nice when those sort of things happen, knowing that you can always boot up an earlier version of the distro, and get on with what you want to do. 2¢ worth of my late night ramblings, for what it's worth.
