Sorry for not chipping in earlier on this.

I haven't been around a whole lot the past few weeks.

I have tried the Fedora 12 chroot but I couldn't see any advantages over Debian. They have compiled far fewer packages and there doesn't seem to be anything in Fedora that isn't also available for Debian. So I've never offered an Easy Fedora package, even though it wouldn't be very hard to make.

If you make a Fedora image file like in kingoddball's instructions, you can just point your Easy Debian to the image file (change the IMGFILE= line in your /home/user/.chroot) and then use Easy Debian to access Fedora. You can even copy some of the N900 specific stuff from the Debian image to your Fedora image and get it doing all the same stuff...

(EDIT: Yes, you can also put Fedora in a partition on your SD card and use it with Easy Debian)

But honestly, other than a preference for Red Hat, what is the advantage of running Fedora instead of Debian?
