We have some RHEL2 systems still in production.

Fedora works fine for my play laptop. I have it setup so that critical
data is backed up to my fileserver so even if I lose the drive
rebuilding just takes 20 minutes or so and I'm back where I left off.
I don't use it on any infrastructure stuff at my house, but it's
definitely easier to get things like networking, eye candy demo window
managers, graphics software, etc.. going under Fedora.
