Any instructor that has to use a certain version of Linux, is just
reading out of the book anyway.  If the instructor can't modify
lessons and homework on the fly he isn't worth his salt.

They need to be informed that FC2 is WAY too old to be used as a educational tool if the intent is to prepare the student for something in the real world.  Was udev used back then?  mdadm?  lvm?
