Well one of my districts just bought a dual Opteron box. Since I'll
have to support the damn thing <grin>, I'll try to make it easy to
reproduce. 

My current plan is to do a setup like I've done with RHEL, an
updates floppy & a yum/apt repository that makes it fairly simple
to do a K12LTSP install using the stock FC1 x86_64 isos.

I doubt the same issue would exist in FC2, although other issues
may exist. FC1 uses a 2.4 kernel, FC2 will use a 2.6 kernel

I've been running the FC2 development packages on my laptop for
quite a while now. I just switched my desktop over this weekend.
With the exception of a couple upgrade gotchas, all is working
quite well.
