I'm running FC2 on my main server for a few months and I have not had
many issues with it. I ran FC2 on an IBM ThinkPad T41 for a while - that
was a little bit of an issue, until somebody on the fedora list told me
to switch lm_sensors (/etc/rc.d/init.d/lm_sensors) off and the problems
went away.

The only problem I have on the main server is with the one and only IDE
disk drive - all the other drives are SCSI. I'm not sure if this is on
OS problem or a problem with that particular piece of hardware. I would
think that they have the IDE interface pretty solid, so it might just be
the drive.
