"They are looking to introduce a non-standard, untested platform..."

Ummm, the platforms looks quite a lot like the Jhon Bon Neuman computer architecture (CPU+Memory+Input/Output devices) - the same one used for the last 60 years - with Linux, an standard Unix variant OS -the same one used for last 30 year - with standard keyboard, mouse and windowing enviroment for user interaction - the same one used since first Mac computers 25 years ago-. Comunication is done through TCP/IP, the most widely used communication protocol to this date -let call it "The Internet"-.

¿Sure it is a non-standard, untested platform?. It doesn't come to my mind anything more standard than this 100$ computer.

I don't think you need to be an brave warrior to bet for it.
