Fedora 21 on a GIGABYTE P34Gv2-CF4 (NVIDIA GeForc GTX 860M)

[CS DBA]

All;

I'm thinking about getting a GIGABYTE P34Gv2-CF4 with these specs:


- 14.0” FHD 16:9 LED IPS Backlit Wide screen (1920x1080) Anti-Glare 
Matte Type Screen
- 4th Generation Intel® Haswell Core™ i7-4710HQ (2.5GHz - 3.5GHz, 6MB 
Intel® Smart Cache)
- NVIDIA® GeForce™ GTX 860M (4.0GB) GDDR5 PCI-Express DX11 w/ Optimus™ 
Technology
- 16GB DDR3 1866MHz [SKU-444BX] (Crucial Ballistix Sport Dual Channel 
Memory (2x8GB SODIMMS))
-512GB Crucial M550 Solid State mSATA III (Read 550MB/s - Write 500MB/s)
- 1TB Crucial M550 SSD (Read 550MB/s - Write 500MB/s (SATA III))
- Smart Li-ion Battery (4-Cell)

Most of the hardware seems compatible enough, I only have 2 concerns:

1) the 512GB Crucial M550 Solid State mSATA III, can I install the OS & 
boot off this drive?

2) the NVIDIA® GeForce™ GTX 860M (4.0GB) GDDR5, I've seen some posts of 
folks having issues with this card,
      will it work with the open source nouveau drivers (even if I get 
less functionality)? Or with the kmod-nvidia packages?

Thoughts?


Thanks in advance...
