I liked FC5 very much in my desktop workstation (except for a xorg's 
bug which cause unexpected behavior when pressing the win key), but 
had some problems in my notebook. The worst thing is that Intel video 
drivers are broken in xorg 6.9 and 7.0 (FC5 comes with 7.0). I spent 
some weeks using the vesa driver, but then I became tired of not 
being able to watch DVDs and do other things which require some 
graphical speed and then installed FC4 back. Xorg 6.8 drivers work 
flawlessly. When this issue is solved, I will probably install FC5 
again. Maybe it won't take to long for that, because this bug is 
already marked as solved in xorg's bugzilla...
