I have to get the SD card and whatever is required to program it
from Fedora 21 or 22, or buy one preprogrammed.
Pretty much any old SD card would do. I have this one:

By far the most popular OS for Rasperry Pi is Raspbian (a Debian
derivative). There is a lot more third party software available for
this. But there is also Pidora (a Fedora variant) which I have
successfully installed and tested.
I currently have an older Pi model B in service as my Bacula storage
server, with an external 4TB USB drive for online backups, plus a USB
enclosure that allows swapping drives to use for archival backups.
Works great. Pi's have lots of uses.

Well I can see that it has to be the small micro SD type care if it's
going to fit the socket and case that came with it.
But what I am really asking I guess is how do I connect the SD card to a
desktop computer to install Pidora or whatever? The only thing I see
that accepts the SD card is the Raspberry board.

Bob, buy a MicroSD card that comes with the adapter to convert it to
a normal SD card and get that SD<---->USB dongle.
1. Plug the MicroSD card into its adapter.
2. Plug the SD card adapter (with MicroSD card in it) into the USB
dongle.
3. Plug the dongle into your desktop computer and note which device the
SD card shows up as (probably /dev/sdb, but have a look at the output
of dmesg to be sure).
4. Download the ISO that you want.
5. As root, "dd if=name-of-iso-file.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=1M" (assuming the
SD card shows up as /dev/sdb...change as needed)
6. When dd ends, unplug the USB dongle, pull out the SD card adapter,
pull the MicroSD from the adapter, stick it in your RPi and power up the
RPi.
7. Voila!
