My understanding is that the only issue you'll have with the remix is
that you cannot 'yum update' into a non-remix kernel. Perhaps my
understanding is off?
This is right. In fact if you try to do it (as I did) you'll
end up with a system that needs manual intervention to boot.
Hans's remix on the CT is recommended. I have upgraded mine to F20, I
am running an upstream(-ish) kernel, and have got virtualization
working. There are instructions on my blog on how to do all this.
Make sure you get a serial cable (ie. CP2102 USB-serial converter).
Rich.
