 FWIW, I had FC2 running on my two desktops (home and work) exclusively
and never had any problems with it at all, in fact, I was very happy
with it. Were the problems that you mentioned laptop related?

 I'll have to agree with this too. YDL4 came out quite a bit after FC2,
(actually closer to FC3) and Owen and gang did a lot to iron out a lot
of the kinks (mostly with Anaconda from what I heard). Also, many of the
packages in YDL4 are newer than what were in FC2, most notably KDE.
