Don't get newest packages in it, or anything close, but stability does make a nice change after a couple years on FC.

I've somewhat abandoned the FC side-project for the time being, pretty much for that reason and the lack of time to mess with it... but if I end up going back to it at some point (which is likely) I'll keep that in mind.

It won't handle nVidia, or Java, as for mp3/flash/xvid components, it has most of them (mplayer/vlc/xmms-*). Of course there are plenty of 3rd party repos, however rpmforge is one of the safer ones (i.e. good packages, and rpmforge's policy is not to replace core packages) - which is why I would class it under 'distribution-friendly'.
