Obviously F24's beta is only a few weeks away, best of luck on both fronts~

Fedora 24 definitely here, I'll actually be producing aarch64 images
shortly for this which will include a level of support for the PINE64,
we don't get have USB or ethernet sadly, but I hope to have at least
usb soon.

I would note that, at least for the pre prod model I have, this device
is by no means "ruggedized"  the board even has a bend in it from
postage.

Awesome we can start banging on this long-awaited HW!.

Who can recommend the best/emerging/viable Fedora 22 vs. 23 vs. 24 options
to Alex?
