Well...since I don't want to screw up the Swiki page, here are couple of
questions:

1) It's Linux. So how much Linux will I need to know just to run Squeak?
I'm mainly concerned about using USB memory sticks, peripherals, powering
off the system, etc. What can I say...I'm a Mac user.

2) Will there be a way to restore (from some kind of backup) the initial
flash configuration so that the system can be restored to its pristine
condition?

I too am just about to buy one after the holidays. It sounds too cool to
pass up.
