Engadget —
... running Mi Edition or know someone who is, you can actually build an installer flash drive right now, but we'd wait for the official Windows-based utility to appear in the next few days.

... has one of the best thought out Linux user interfaces I’ve ever seen. But that’s not to say there aren’t some problems. First and foremost, my Mini 1000 crashed on Friday. Big time. Like I was using it, put it to sleep, and when I tried to wake it up, I was greeted with a black screen and a blinking cursor.
