This is extremely strange... what document did you try to compile ? With 
which command line ?

Reading the whole thread I don't think they will drop it, but anyway, 
Debian is more decided to go TeXLive 2008 than Fedora, for sure... 
Otherwise Gentoo and ArchLinux already have it.

There is a documentation in french here : 
http://weblog.elzevir.fr/2008/11/tex-live-2008-a-la-vanille-sur-debian-like/, 
but I don't think it's translated somewhere...
