Linux has technical problems and difficulty keeping a large and complex O/S all playing nicely together? Who'da thunk it? ;-) Uh, no.
Fedora has problems. RPM hell is a well-known problem on Fedora, which is RedHat's experimental sandbox. If you want real stability, use RH Enterprise.
APT on the Debian-based distros don't have this problem. I lost an entire RPM database back in the RH8 days. I left for Debian and haven't looked back.

I've poked and dabbled with various distros here and there. Fedora was looking like the most Windows-newbie friendly one so far. ...but I never tried any RPM upgrades either, just the packages that came on the original ISO image. :-/
Now, I'm thinking Ubuntu's looking pretty nice.
