Ron,
I have a Dell Dimension 4700 which I have been running FC5 on for some
time with no issues.  I plan an upgrade to FC6 soon and I expect that it
will only be better.  I dual-boot mine with the Windoze XP that came
with the machine so I could maintain access to a few "windoze-only"
applications that I have.  These are finding their way to
open-sourc/linux so I expect I will soon be able to become
MicroSoft-free.
