We are using FC6 on our machines and currently they are running 2.6.19-1.xxxx. So I'm looking into whether 2.6.19-3 may be coming available for FC6. We too were also running CentOS for a while but we ran into too many problems with getting hardware and drivers to work with it so we decided to switch to FC6 which provided us with better hardware support. We would maybe look at CentOS 5 whenever it comes available. Yes, I would be interested in seeing your patch and recipe. This would be a good project. Thanks, Gerry
