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.
