The initial releases of FC, that is 1 and 2, had problems, yes, but since 3, releases have been quite stable "right out of the box." And FWIW, it's been a week since 5's been out and there's been almost nothing posted on the USENET about problems of any kind. A few things, yes, but they seem to be related to hardware incompatibilities due to drivers not being included in the distro. If there were problems, major or minor, it would have been all over the 'net by now. However, I somewhat agree with your friend: Wait a while on 5. 4 is a mature release, and while it may not have all the new features and cutting edge do-dads of 5, it is still a very usable version. (That's what I'm using right now.) Besides, I myself prefer to wait a few weeks before downloading any new releases just to let all the download fever pbutt.
Also, after installing 4, you should do a 'yum -y update' as root to update all the installed files. However, if you've gotten the most current version of 4, there will be very little need for updates.
