Ubuntu has 2.0.2 as the oldest. Debian 7 (old-stable) seems
to be at 2.0.0, but support for that release will be dropped
in about six months, and it may nonetheless get updated with
a point release before that.
No idea about Fedora.

What kind of error did you get with 2.0.0 that a point release
seemingly fixes it? Configure failed to detect it, or ffplay
just misbehaves?
You could try to work with Josh on this and see if it can be
solved.
