Some history
FDOM was announced a little while ago and had a specific main purpose. It wanted to be a distribution image with many applications applied to it. Just to make the Om 2008.8 more than just a mobile phone image. It fulfills that role very good and it's name was chosen for accentuating that purpose. FDOM stands for 'Fat and Dirty' distribution.
It was created by David-Reyes Samblas Martinez. He just picked the om2008.8 distribution and applied some patches and installed almost all applications, he could find on the wiki. After that he made an backup of the image and FDOM was born.
What's the problem?
FDOM was called a distribution by many people, while it doesn't want to be a separate distribution. FDOM was a default Om 2008.9 installation with many addons. Because FDOM was a separate image, people got confused and begun to thing that FDOM was another distribution.
There were also people that knew FDOM was based on Om 2008.9 and were asking how to upgrade their Om 2008.9 to FDOM. Solely for having the applications of FDOM and don't have to lose their contact or messages. (Or don't want to go reflashing). They would plough trough the wiki without finding a cure.
Introducing FDOMizer
With the new release of FDOM on 13 okt, the team behind FDOM has introduced a script named FDOMizer. It's a script that will turn your Om 2008.9 into FDOM. So it will install all the applications and fixes that are default installed in a fresh FDOM installation.
Turn your Om2008.9 into FDOM
- ssh into your Om2008.9
- wget http://files.tdobson.net/openmoko/freerunner/fdom/FDOMizer20081023.tar.gz
- tar -xzvf FDOMizer20081023.tar.gz
- FDOMizer/FDOMizer
- follow the script

you have summarized the hole thing brilliantly :)
The FDOMizer is a first release of a new distribution on a developping system, so very not bulletproof. It is a small wonder it works at all already ! Phone works fine, and playing Pingus too. Automagic failed me regarding "Gnuchess" and "Openmoocow". I am up to plan B: reflashing the rootfs with a whole fresh image.
Regarding your first paragraph, in my book actually FDOM is a real distribution, and OM 2008.x series are just base images with working code.
FDOM is at the moment a distribution, but it doesn't want to be. It just want to leverage a default Om 2008.* distribution into something very useful with many application. (that you don't have to install yourself)
btw. I had no problem with upgrading a Om 2008.9 into FDOM. Though I had problems with converting a 'base' image into FDOM (but that's normal, because FDOM doesn't target that)
