[Freeipa-users] FreeIPA questions

[SR]

I'm new to FreeIPA and this list so please forgive me for the n00b 
questions. I have what I think is a pretty straight-forward use for 
FreeIPA. We have an Active Directory environment with a few hundred 
users. We are starting to increase our number of Macs and need a 
directory solution. There are some issues with Macs in AD which Apple 
doesn't seem interested in addressing. Open Directory would be nice if 
we only had Macs but it doesn't allow for syncing accounts to AD, so it 
won't work for us.

Based on what I've read about FreeIPA, it seems like it would be a good 
fit for us.

The problem I'm having is that I can't seem to even get FreeIPA 
installed. I've tried using Fedora 10 with all the latest updates. I've 
tried adding different .repo files I've found on the various FreeIPA 
pages, but none of them seem to be working for me.

So, my questions are:

1) What is the best distro for running FreeIPA. I'd rather not purchase 
RHEL, so it sounds like Fedora is the way to go. I just finished 
downloading Fedora 14 and will give that a try unless someone recommends 
something else.

2) Is version 2 highly recommended over version 1 or does version 1 have 
sufficient features to use it in a production environment? Essentially, 
we have about 30 current Macs users (and growing) that we want to create 
accounts for in FreeIPA and have sync'd to AD (or vice versa). The users 
will need the ability to change their passwords.

3) What is the best way to install FreeIPA? I'm having problems with yum 
(see errors below) so I was wondering if there was another way, e.g., RPMs.

# yum install freeipa-server
