"Always reboot electrically into it - don't simply reboot; power you computer down, then up again. That's because the mouse is not handled, and if you were to touch it, due to hardware technicalities, your keyboard would get stu"

"Keyboard would get stu" is just brilliant.

Otherwise, what is claimed sounds very impressive, so much that I really wonder "what's the catch? There must be some."

In the "Limitations" section it says that the IP-stack is non-functional, and that it is much slower than the Linux kernel.
