Here is an unofficial FAQ http://fedora.artoo.net  . It will answer 
many questions.

The release notes found at http://fedora.redhat.com  has package list, 
and several gotcha's etc.

MY impressions:

It's as stable or better than RH 9 for me and my hardware and my usage 
patterns..(I had no stability problems with RH 9, and have no problems 
with FC1 at the moment..).
They took Shrike, removed some packages, added some and upgraded many. 
(Release notes ..)

Why do I say MY impressions? Because others have different experience 
, hardware and usage pattern so discover bugs I never see..


Cheers,
Michael
