I have Lubunutu running on this Mk802. This is the 1GB ram model. I removed the desktop components of Lubuntu (Linux) since it's a headless server. I've got transmission torrent client installed with a web interface for adding and managing torrents from my computer/laptop/phone. I've also got a samba server installed and I stream content from the mk802 to my other devices and to my main media center. Everything is streamed over the wireless N connection. I just SSH in whenever I want to work on the server. The mk802 does get a little warm so I decided to place it outside (under shelter) so that it can benefit from natural air cooling. I also have a USB fan powered by a small solar panel that blows on the mk802 during the day. This isn't really required but I had the solar panel and fan from another project and I don't have any other use for them at the moment.
