This... looks amazing. I totally want one of these for myself, and it looks like an absolutely amazing educational experience for younger folks. Love that quote about how "the days of DIY computing are back".

But... we have to stay vigilant, as too much computing these days involves closed systems, proprietary firmware and driver binary blobs, DRM'd crap, etc. Remember the "war on general purpose computing".[1]
