So if anyone with a pandora is working on a new demo vid, I would love to see one with a bit torrent on it. Also would the bit torrent keep working if i closed the case? Thanks for the info! (from a linux newb )

Im only kind of into retro gaming and do not have a laptop so this will be my only mobile device, but I was intending on using the machine for lots of different purposes such as: IMing from wifi hotspots, using it to show videos, and downloading episodes for my nettop htpc when im busy at work and can have it plugged in and idle. And of course gaming when I have more than a few minutes to kill.
I'm not to savvy with linux and what the machine can or cant do well. Am I going to run it into the ground with these things? If so I'd like to know before it gets shipped so i can reconsider. Id appreciate any advice thrown my way

And in terms of resources, what seems an insignificant amount of CPU and memory on a powerful desktop might be a bit more noticeable on 500Mhz of ARM, but it's not going to slow it to a crawl. Just don't expect it to do your N64 framerate any good.
I don't see any reason why any of those other uses would be difficult either, so you should be fine.
If you haven't noticed the "Promotion" videos that showoff the Pandora all use all legal things.(ie Doom 3) Because it would be illegal to play say Sonic on there because it's a ROM.zombiesatemygoldfish said:So if anyone with a pandora is working on a new demo vid, I would love to see one with a bit torrent on it.

What does that have to do with whether a torrent would continue downloading or not?Trickyhero said:If you haven't noticed the "Promotion" videos that showoff the Pandora all use all legal things.(ie Doom 3) Because it would be illegal to play say Sonic on there because it's a ROM.zombiesatemygoldfish said:So if anyone with a pandora is working on a new demo vid, I would love to see one with a bit torrent on it.
