With things like this I'd rather wait for the 2nd or 3rd run anyways. They are a small group who are doing this on a shoestring budget for a price point with a tiny profit margin and targeting a highly technical audience; I won't be shocked if there are some small hardware bugs that make it past QA in the first run.

Its worth the waiting a little bit to let them iron all that out.

I was thinking about this, but given they've got an OS running, it is good enough for £20, and I'll replace it when necessary.

You can have an OS running and not have it 100% stable for long term with small latent bugs. I've actually got a prototype board I'm working on right now that runs Linux just fine but will lock up and need to be rebooted every few days.

But as you said, for 20 quid who cares?
