I am sure you can run FC2 with a 2.4 kernel. Very few user-space
application (daemons and applications) should depend that strongly on
a particular kernel level. A kernel provides:
1. Filesystem abstraction to files and devices
2. Device drivers
3. Memory management
4. Process management and scheduling
5. Low level APIs to access the system (system calls)
Of the above, user-space programs should only depend on system calls.
Everything else must be kernel-version independant.
