RedHat seems to be trying to make their OS more accessible and mainstream friendly through their $0 developer license http://developers.redhat.com/blog/2016/03/31/no-cost-rhel-developer-subscription-now-available http://developers.redhat.com/blog/2016/03/31/no-cost-rhel-de.... Not that there's anything wrong with CentOS. So it's cool that effort extends to commodity hardware, too. Sample size of one but as part of working down the Redhat certifications track I purchased an Intel NUC http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/nuc/nuc-kit-nuc6i5syk.html http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/nuc/nuc-kit-nuc6i5syk... for a low power lab machine; it's really just a laptop squeezed into a cube but everything I've needed to use it for works fine. Admittedly I have not tried wireless or bluetooth. Hopefully that means laptops built off reference Intel designs will also Just Work. Interestingly NUCs are showing up now in the Hackintosh community because despite moderate specs next to a modern desktop, they're still competitive with Apple's current hardware. No doubt Apple will refresh this year; they seem to be overdue.
