Got the Fedora 23 dvd but I don't think it's going to make it either,,, however I am going to try to give it an actual install. One never knows.
Update, seems even Fedora has some work to do on it. I ran it live rather than install... no love, no option to add a wireless connection.

ndiswrapper is not found, and it kept telling me that I didn't have permissions to install the board.bin and firmware-5.bin (of course, as it can't install to a dvd...)
