It only crashed once while running netsurf using js mode. To be expected i'm sure. I make the habit of running additional rio when using netsurf to keep from rebooting. But honestly I don't know what to do with it. I have no need for GPIO at the moment. I have an extra kbd, mouse, and monitor. So I guess if I ever need a low cost terminal then I have one to use.
