I just ordered a Arduino Duemilanove USB board and doing some homework before it arives. Does the Aurdino bootloader take care of the AVR fuses? and will I still need to deal with make files that are part of the WinAVR used for programming the AVRs
If you use the Arduino IDE and the Arduino bootloader on the chip then you don't need to worry about fuses, makefiles or anything tricky at all. Just write your code in the IDE, hit "Upload" and it's magically running on the Arduino.

Perfect, thanks for the info.
