its easy to wear but its not really "rugged". 
The boards are well packed and if you rearrange them 
airflow for heat can be an issue.

ntsc video out works (moderatyl well, still little issues in X). 
ntsc video in is getting there :-)

linix is the ONLY os on it, so expect it all to work under linux soon, its
not like a windoze machine where someone does not want to be bothered to port
something.
