Perhaps JAGS is a better option for Fedora: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_another_Gibbs_sampler "Its main advantage in comparison to the members of the original BUGS family (WinBUGS and OpenBUGS) is its platform independence. It is written in C++, while the BUGS family is written Component Pascal which is only available for Windows.[1][2] Therefore it is already part of many repositories of Linux distributions like Ubuntu. It can also be compiled as a 64-bits application on 64-bits platforms, thus making all the addressable space available to BUGS models."
