Have used cubietruck, seems to struggle with swapping, badly.
Hmm... haven't had any such problem.
On one particular cmake build it hits 99% memory usage immediately, then eats up all the sway you throw at it and eventually gives up :) Not all the cubietrucks fault no doubt.
As you say, mainline support is not good and is obviously part of the swapping issue I experienced.
I've had some trouble with the gigabit ethernet (solved by forcing it back to 100Mb/s), but other than that what's supported worked well. The "not great" was more about the lack of support of various elements (e.g. nand flash, OTG, audio, video, wifi) rather than the quality of that which is supported.
Yes, the gig ethernet is dire but the cubie truck is no alone there. I found no problem with the video (vga & hdmi) or audio but those are not that much of interest for the task in hand.
Cheers, Mike.
