I applied to get one, but I'm not one of the anointed. I think you get
one if you are a popular blogger or tech-related website operator. IE:
the press.
I read an article that it is not really standard hardware, although
there is a "developer mode" switch on it to allow running code not
signed by Google that should make it easier to hack. I thought however
that it still wants to wipe the disk if you mess with that switch.
Something like putting it back in "normal" mode will re-install
ChromeOS. At least I hope it would since it would be real hard to get
back to using stock ChromeOS without a CD.

I am one of the annoited few but I am not a tech writer/blogger; just another Fedora fan. While I have been able to install Ubuntu I really want to try Fedora on this MID. The dev switch works as stated, it will erase only the stateful partition (i.e. home/temp directory) interesting about what you said about anaconda but the problem lies in the EFI boot process. I just don't understand it enough. From what I have seen/read online there are three kernel/rootfs partitions and a state partition the script I used created an extra partition and installed Ubuntu there, so I should be able to copy a fedora root in the same way.
