Only problem is that for some reason FC2 does not always load USB modem driver module and i have to load it sometimes manually. On the good side is better scheduler of 2.6. For example, if i watched video with mplayer in FC1 and some resource hungry process like updatedb started, then mplayer said that my system is too slow and after updatedb process stopped then sound and picture was out of synchronization. I dont have such problem in FC2 anymore. And i also like, that 2.6 comes default with ALSA. Kunnar
