I went FC13 as soon as the pre-beta came out, and ran it on a semi-production 
security camera server for several weeks, along with a few VMs with various 
little servers. Unfortunately support for the IBM webcam was broken by an 
upgrade and the problem was rejected for fix in FC13. Since then I've been told 
that at least one Logitech camera of recent vintage is broken as well, but I 
haven't verified that. Since the ibmcam is capable of very low light operation 
and I don't really want to replace them I used another solution.

As a desktop operation has been boring, virtually no problems. Unless you really 
need support for one of the web cams which became unsupported I would say go for 
it. Hopefully 2.6.35 will happen during the life of the release, and that should 
provide better battery life for laptops and less heat for desktop.

It's really a great release, I'm sorry I can't use it unless I fall back to the 
old kernel with some security issues.
