I just received three Pi 3's yesterday. I have installed CentOS on
one and am configuring it for use as a firewall and router. It boots
fine and works like a champ. It is not ready yet for use in it's
intended role, but I will keep you posted. <br>
<br>
I already have a Pi 2B running as a firewall with CentOS and that
one is doing very nicely as well. The Pi 2B is intended only as a
side door access to my network when I am traveling and not as a
router so it has very little load most of the time. <br>
<br>
The Pi 3B does seem to run hot, so I added heat sinks to the
top-side chips.<br>

<pre wrap="">Just to add that there is a way to get WiFi working, but I'm not sure
about the redistribution license needed for the broadcom firmware (can
be checked) and that one isn't in the upstream linux-firmware package.
I have a .noarch rpm for it, but in the mean time, if you want to
test/use embedded wifi on your rpi3, be sure to do this (as root) :
curl --location

<pre wrap="">And reboot to ensure the dtb is initialized and kernel knows about the
hardware in place.
Enjoy
