It's definitely usable - I've switched over full time to it now.
Definitely slower than the likes of Mandrake though. Especially in terms
of install - mdk seemed to take half the time to install.

The installer is strange - packages I de-selected (EMACS) have been
installed anyway, and now can't be removed by the GUI...

All in all, I like it, and would recommend it as a replacement to RHL
(especially once freshrpms and the like are churning out the additional
packages) but it's not a newbie distro ATM - Mandrake still has that
crown...

I think it's time to try some of the non-mainstream distros for me
though - lifes getting too easy... :) Slackware or Gentoo I think...

Oh, and I've fallen out with Evolution as well - it refuses to send my 
mail consistantly, something that Mozilla Mail/Thunderbird manages to do 
fine...

Cheers,
