I would highly recommend the FQDN.  Although this feature isn't fully 
supported yet, eventually this will allow remote object resolution.  
Also the FQDN will guarantee that the LSID (Life Science IDentifier) 
will be globally unique.

The Default Data Directory is the directory that will appear when you 
import files into OME via the Web user interface.  Normally it is 
either you home directory, or a global directory where images from a 
microscope would show up.  In our case for example, the microscope is 
connected to a shared directory that has folders for the microscope's 
users.  Each OME user is set up so that their Default Data Directory 
points to their own folder in this shared directory.  This directory 
has to be readable by the ome unix group (specifically the Apache 
process, which our installer adds to the ome group).

You can also install GD 2 from RPM (or yum).  Many tests will fail, but 
its of no consequence.
