I have just started using it few days ago:
- First of all graphics seems very slow. If I run the update manager it shows a little window that asks me the password, and it darkens the screen. Such darkening takes about 15 seconds. I don't know why.
- It uses only one core, and at 32 bits.
- Audio doesn't seem to work yet to me.

Beside that, it's the only one of such systems that works on my PC, and it allows me to run the LDC compiler, Chapel compiler and more. The running speed of programs is high enough (70%-90% of native, it seems).

Bye,
