I used Debian at the time, but it should work on any distro. The improvement in boot-up speed was nice. The problem is fcache is not upstream and it won't be. Jens saw fcache only as a proof-of-concept hack. He abandoned its development. He had an idea for a better and easier to use solution. It was supposed to be more automatic with no special "priming" mode. I don't think he ever got to implement it though.
