As Marco said, the information should probably be put together in one place for more clarity.

That being said, and to answer your question, the tutorial that you have followed does not mention a package repository for ROS binaries. This means you will not be able to apt-get install ros-fuerte-somepackage because your system does not know where to find a repository containing these packages. To my knowledge, nobody publicly claimed that such a repository was available and chances are that you will not find one.

However, as Marco said, if you don't specifically need Fuerte, you can install ROS Groovy on Raspbian, there is a repository made just for that. I would recommend you follow the instructions on http://www.ros.org/wiki/groovy/Installation/Raspbian. These instructions are not complete though, for the rest of the procedure you should rely on the generic Ubuntu install as can be found here: http://www.ros.org/wiki/groovy/Installation/Ubuntu, starting from item 1.5 Initialize rosdep, and then on the different tutorials available for ROS Groovy.

Good luck!
