I have a 320, but it's running Win2K. There is a link that was an SGI 
howto to load linux:

  http://oss.sgi.com/www.linux.sgi.com/intel/visws/arcboot.html

I have not tried this, but it looks like you download and create 2 
floppies that allow you to install Linux from CDROM. The arcloader was 
created for installing Linux 6.0, but it may work with Fedora...give it 
a try. I don't think the Cobalt graphics are supported.
