Pull requests are welcome!

Does the ethernet dongle work?: Yes
Does the Wi-Fi work?: Yes
Can I run Xorg on it?: Yes, with the framebuffer driver.
Does it work on GameCube?: It should. GameCube is supported but author cannot test on it.
Does SD/SDHC/USB work?: Yes
What type of multimedia/gaming applications can I use?: Anything that works on a framebuffer will do. But forget about video playback, 3D or high end games. There is no hardware acceleration support so far.
