Don't fiddle with the overclocking (yet) It runs at 1GHz by default. If you start to try to overclock it, you'll only make it go slower!

Haven't tried it with the GUI as what I thought was a miniHDMI - HDMI cable at home was a miniUSB - HDMI so I set the OS up on another PI and ssh in. Quite Extraordinary - smaller than the USB hub its connected to. The two mini USB connectors can get a bit crowded if your leads have 'ergonomic' amounts of rubber around them!

You can power it via either USB connector.

My only wish would be for there to be another PWM available output!

There are 2... The SoC only has hardware PWM generators.

I'm looking at a DMA based PWM thingy for the next big release of wiringPi. That will work on all pins, but until then you have softPwm if you use wiringPi (or RPi.GPIO)
