That should read "2.4 or later".  I'm using the Linux 2.6.8 kernel
with the Gentoo distro.  In theory, the Zaptel driver should work on
any 2.4 through 2.6-based distro.  I haven't tried 2.7.

I have a X101P at home (using Koolstart) and that performs almost
acceptably.  I'll be dumping it in favour of a Sipura SPA-3000 soon.

I've never used Red Hat Fedora, so I can't comment on that.  Perhaps
you should try FC2 instead of FC1 or, even better, try Gentoo.
