Just be wary of 2.6.8* and CD burning. On two of our machines CD
burning is broken - on one it completely freezes the box 50% of the
time, and on the other, it burns nothing but coasters. Sata support
seems more than a little sketchy in 2.6.8* (but we've had no problem
with it in 2.6.5 - 2.6.7 fedora/ccrma kernels).

My production distro is a Planet CCRMA RH 9 installation. I also
have an installation of FC2 that I use for graphics and will
eventually be migrating to. For me, using FC2 and the 2.6 kernels
is edgy enough -- I don't have enough knowledge and experience to be
much use as a beta tester.
With those caveats in mind, is there a particular 2.6 kernel that
would be better than either 1) the kernel that was shipped with my
FC2 disks, or 2) the most recently released kernel (2.6.8-1.521)?
I have released a couple of "experimental" 2.6.8+ kernels that include
the voluntary preemption patches by Ingo Molnar. They are getting better
all the time. You could try them in your FC2 box by following the
instructions here (if you have already installed Planet CCRMA in your
FC2 box, of course):
http://ccrma-mail.stanford.edu/pipermail/planetccrma/2004-August/005879.html
Where can I find more info about the various kernels
and other
updates as they are released?
Kernels specific for Planet CCRMA are announced in its mailing list. I
guess the place for generic announcements would be the linux kernel
mailing list.
Does anyone have any advice as to an
FC2 update strategy other than running `# yum update` every week
or so?
For Planet CCRMA that would be apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade. I
have yum support in my list of things to do but have not had time to
implement it yet. <-

New subject: [linux-audio-user] Re: FC2 2.6.x kernel questions [OT?]
Yes, I had to roll back to 2.6.7 due to SATA problems. hde apparently
became sda, but init wouldn't be found even with root=/dev/sda3, so
maybe more was hosed. I just gave up at that point...
