And frankly, I do not understand these horror stories. Maybe I have
been lucky, but ever since the LiveCD's came out (F8-9 or so?) and we
moved to USB, installs are like a couple of minutes. 

Unfortunately, however, the new Anaconda has delayed the point of
getting there (to installation) by quite a bit.

There is always a chance that something will break, but since the
software is by and large backwards compatible, there is greater
likelihood of more features/hardware working.
