I use Vixie cron with all of Jim Gifford's patches. It's been working for me for many years. I still use it to this day as it provides a syntax that I've been using for 20-something years. I'm not sure what you mean about a "hint" for fcron, as that is the standard cron package in the BLFS book. No hint should be necessary.
