[Leaplist] FC6 conversion from Ubuntu?

[Dan Cherry]

Brief background...
My earlier linux experience was primarily with Debian, but I needed a 
distro with more up-to-date software releases (64 bit was agonizingly 
slow to mature, and my laptop had several hacks that often broke with 
updates).  Last year, I tried FC5, but ran into a few problems (mostly 
my lack of knowledge about the differences in how the distros work, LVM 
issues and grub peculiarities).  I wound up switching everything to 
Xubuntu with IceWM, and basically everything works very well on all 
machines.

Questions...
Does anybody have an opinion based on experience, that I try FC6?

If I try it, any warnings or installation advice?

Are the gains worth the effort to learn the differences? No distro wars 
- please ;-)  but advice about FC6 is certainly welcome (again, based on 
experiences).

I don't have any particular reason for changing, other than hearing a 
lot of good things about Fedora, and having some how-to's for setting up 
a video box on Fedora that seems easier than inventing a way to do it on 
Ubuntu.

Is the FC6 64 bit version mature enough to use without a lot of tweaking 
or workarounds?

Phil, you have/had a laptop that was exactly the same as mine (HP 
ze4400) - did you, or anyone else with a similar laptop, move to FC6? 
If so, did everything basically work?  Any suggestions?

I know this is really vague, but thanks for any comments that may help.
