sadly, the 10/100 ethernet is provided through a flakey usb hub
(http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=7380)

for me, that's three strikes (less than gbe, usb, flakey) but in this
case the first strike was enough to exclude it from consideration.

I think that's a significant point, if similar turns out to be the case with many of these devices, certainly for use with something "critical".  That said, I also think there's nothing wrong with these kind of "stick" PC's for lots of purposes, even if for fooling around.  That said :), enough stuff is already flakey that has mass appeal/use, etc (not saying these have mass appeal, just just sayin').
