I have two Revos on my desktop side by side. One runs Lucid, one runs
Maverick. Both run just fine. They're a bit gutless when it comes to
more intensive stuff, but fine for general surfing etc. Probably even
better as a small scale server.

To be expected with Macs. I own a macbook pro which you can't
currently install Ubuntu on...

Not a massive issue for me because I have multiple computers, and know
these things will be fixed over time (and indeed in the case of that
one it's pretty much done now), but for new users it could be an
issue.
