I too have been using Ubuntu for a while now, but bought a 
RHEL 6.5 Workstation subscription, to try and get Vivado 2013.2 to
perform a distributed build.

Distributed builds don’t work on Ubuntu because of differences in
API calls to get the hostname, compared to RHEL.

On RHEL, I’m able to distribute a synthesis task to one host, but not
split the same task across multiple hosts.

I think buying RHEL-6.5 subscription is a waste, and I should have
tried CentOS instead. So, if Fedora doesn’t work, try running the 
Xilinx Vivado tools on CentOS instead.

There is also shell script issues to consider (bashism, etc), between
distros.
