One could also argue that you should not use Fedora for production in
general -- Fedora Core is a beta-test platform, so for Fedora to use
beta test code makes some kind of sense.  No, you should probably NOT
trust GnuCash 2.3.x with your personal finances (I wouldn't), unless you
really know what is going on.  You could either download and build a
2.2.x version from source or see if gnucash-2.2.7-1.el5 (from EPEL's
RHEL5 repo) will install under FC13.
