I've had a few abrt messages and two instances of Gnome-Shell locking up 
in this F18 installation, which began as a Release Candidate 2 
installation last month.

I used CentOS 6.3 as a desktop for several months and found it to be 
very reliable. That reliability happens because it's been frozen in 
place for several years as Red Hat fixes bugs and backports features 
into the kernel. You get a standard Gnome 2 setup.  Proprietary video 
drivers, codecs, new kernels, current browsers, etc., are available in 
unofficial repositories, but you do need to be pretty careful to avoid 
conflicts.

As a recompilation of RHEL, CentOS is intended to be a server 
distribution. I enjoyed it as a desktop, but eventually jumped back to 
Fedora when I couldn't manage to update some core components so I could 
tweak things to my satisfaction.
