I went the Legacy route for FC3.
 
Would like to avoid frequent upgrades on my next box.

Hmm, how is this so?  

I mean I can get a 2.6.18 kernel via Gentoo which is what FC6 is about
on.

RHEL and SUSE enterprise stuff are not there yet.

So it seems to me like Gentoo is a little more cutting edge that what
say CentOS offers.


Am thinking of a Dospara PC with a ASUS P5B-VM motherboard which has a
jmicron chip bug for kernels below 2.6.18 so that's why I've been
looking.
