Yup. But be mindful of the fact that not all SD cards will work. I
have a couple of Sandisk, Apacer, PQI, Kingston stuff here and so far,
the Sandisk 2GB SD and the PQI 4GB SDHC failed to boot because the
card didn't have power from a cold boot. The PQI works after a warm
reboot while the Sandisk 2GB doesn't work at all. Am not able to try
it out with my Kingston microSD card because its only 1GB in size. So
your mileage may vary.

I have Opera running but not flash. Give me a list of things to
benchmark and how to do it.

The kernel used is OLPC specific so the drivers do work. I have the
wifi running with n-m while the webcam works with applications like
Cheese. I haven't tried the mic but others have tested it with skype
with relative success.
