Shoval,

I am using FC2 on a production asterisk server and it supports our
SATA controller.  I have FC2 running on a few servers and haven't had
any major problems with them.  I don't have any experience with FC3,
but quite a few people seem to have had negative experiences with the
Fedora Core implementations in general.  If you would like to stick to
the Red Hat line, you may want to consider one of the distros based on
Red Hat Enterprise Linux, such as Tao Linux (http://taolinux.org/).  I
haven't used it personally, but I am planning on putting it on a test
box to try it out.

Hope this helps,
Patrick
