Like John said, its RHEL3-based, not FC1-based. But very similar.

Gotta use a ck version, and a kernel before 2.6.8-1.521 (unless ck has 
updated his driver to account for not being able to use sys_* calls to 
the kernel, I haven't had a chance to look for a few days).

Yes, both my production Myth systems are running on FC2 now.

Combo. I'm running a slightly outdated kernel (2.6.7-something, can't 
recall atm) on one box with atrpms packages for pretty much everything. 
On my other system, I'm running my own 2.6.8-1.521 variant with pcHDTV 
patches, the nvidia driver and lirc from source.

Things are still somewhat shaky. The kernel keeps changing and breaking 
things... FC1 is still a considerably more stable platform, but FC2 is 
getting close...
