My personal favorite for simple wav file operations is mhwaveedit. It's
much less bloated than Audacity for simple recording/editing purposes,
and has always been much less flaky for me, also more robust than
Rezound, but without as many bells and whistles. Doesn't require jack,
handles large files well. I've never tried recording more than an hour,
but I suspect it would perform well up to the limits of the format.
Check it out.

I have need to record a lengthy (2+ hours) live show
non-stop, stereo,
and was wondering what Linux program is best at this. I've tried reading
the docs and FAQs I could find, and those docs that I could find say
nothing of any recording time limits, or file size limits. It's got to
save in 44.1/16bit .WAV format, and run on non-jack Fedora.
I've got Audacity, but besides the fact that I don't know if it will do
the length of non-stop recording, it's quirky on my laptop. Sometimes it
doesn't recognize the input device, and only has one logical input device
available. Other times it's fine. There is no apparent pattern to it,
so I hate to trust it since I can never predict if it's going to work.
Thanks!
