Since Fedora is just a testbed for programs and features that may be included 
in the Red Hat server product, there may be things that aren't quite right. 
Such is life on the bleeding edge. I use it as a desktop environment, and it 
works just fine for me. Some of their tools are o.k., though I tend to use the 
ones that come with KDE, or at times, Webmin.

The project leans heavily towards Gnome, though they have gotten better about 
accomodating those of us who prefer KDE. Early on, it took quite a while to get 
the latest KDE packages, so I started downloading them for KDE-Redhat. Now they 
are available much sooner after the release, so someone on the project listened 
to the grumbling coming from us KDE users.

I don't think that I would recommend Fedora to a new user. There are some 
things that are easy for an experience user to troubleshoot and fix that would 
totally frustrate a new user.
