Should be pretty painless. I've been using Fedora since Core 1, now
using FC6. Everything just works. The only problem I ever had wasn't
until FC6, when hardware 3D acceleration wasn't functioning properly with
my ATI card using the default Xorg driver, but that was easily fixed
by installing the ATI proprietary driver, now it's fine. And using my
scanner as an ordinary user has always worked great. You should try
Fedora. Over 2 million FC6 users can't be wrong! :)

A good place to get help if you need it is the Fedora Forums:

There are lots of good FAQs and How-Tos there, in addition to the
usual forums.
