I had recently given up 4-years of living with OS X to get back to Linux - elementaryOS, to be precise. This is a product that has been long due, but for some reason never gets built. 5-6 years ago, driver support etc was the main reason, but it is no longer the case. If this has to work, it has to work exceedingly well for all the possible use cases out-of-the-box. If it can't do what it is meant to do at the first go, make sure you put up simple and clear instructions as to how to go about it. The moment you hit the legendary "show me your lspci output" point you would have lost the game, no matter how good the specs are. That said, a week of fiddling and my dev platform is the same as the one that I had on OS X. So, it is not like it can't be done. Good luck :)
