For me, installation has always been a struggle.
Fedora is the upstream development environment for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux (RHEL). If you have issues with upgrades you might consider
installing CentOS 6.2 which is built from the RHEL source files. CentOS
6.2 has an EOL in 2017 so you would be set for at least five years if
you decide to go with that. Fedora has a new release every six months
and reaches EOL within two years.
That is an idea that I have been toying with.
If I do it, I'll probably start with a triple boot:
F-EOL, F16, CentOS 6.2.
All the issues you mention with disk partitions, and user/group IDs, and
the new and "improved" Gnome 3 that you didn't mention are not an issue
with CentOS 6.2. CentOS is from the same family of Linux "flavors" as
Fedora so you should feel very familiar with the environment.
