[mythtv-users] Why and Why NOT FC2?

[Darryl Wisneski]

Howdy:

I look forward to using Fedora Core 2 so I can take advantage of the 
multimedia improvements that you get in the 2.6 kernel (& stuff).  I 
understand that FC2 uses 2.6 by default.  Some of the newer drivers 
necessary for latest revisions on chipsets of the raw tv capture cards 
(no compression) are in the 2.6.  Anybody care to comment on specific 
cards & chipsets?

Regards,
-dkw
