Anyway, you're saying the way to go is FC6 and not YDL, right? Maybe Eric
can confirm he plans to use FC6?
I've been on the YDL list for a while, since we use them for their Apple
XServe support. (I run FC6 on my G5 Tower desktop, for the reasons that
I'll mention shortly).
From the discussions I've read, it seems that if you want to fully exploit
the Cell parts of the CPU, YDL is probably the way to go -- at least
they're packaging a lot of Cell-specific development tools that look like
they could be useful. Also, the TerraSoft crew is quite responsive to the
needs of their scientific/numerical users.
On the other hand, if you want something that looks like a regular Linux
desktop, then Fedora is certainly the way to go -- there are a lot more
pre-compiled packages, especially WRT desktop and multimedia applications.
Can anyone say anything more about Cell support on Fedora?
Why not try both and see which one matches your needs better?
