You could try third route: getting Moblin as part of Fedora. This way you
would achieve: a) familiar distro underpinnings¹, 2) open firmware for Broadcom wifi card. All you need is F12 system and 'yum install @moblin- desktop'.
¹ I'm under impression our beloved Editor run Rawhide on his workstation.

or use Mandriva Linux 2010 and install "task-moblin" package ;)

The open Broadcom firmware wouldn't help here. The Mini 10v ships with an n-phy Broadcom card, which is unsupported by either the open firmware or the open driver.

I'm glad you said that. I was considering buying one of these.
That's one sale they've lost.

I think I'm actually wrong about this - it's more likely that it's an lp-phy, which is supported by
the open driver but not (afaik) the open firmware.
