Specifically Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, 12.10, or newer; the SDK is distributed as a .deb file

Does anyone know why the Leap preorder page specifies a Phenom II or an i3/i5/i7 processor in the fine-print hardware requirements? Is it for a particular chip feature? Or is CPU overhead going to be a big issue?

Does anyone have any real-world experience using the Leap? It looks cool as hell but I'm hearing rumors that it doesn't work well in the presence of halogen / incandescent bulbs or direct sunlight. If I have to carefully control the lighting to be able to use it, that's a dealbreaker for me.

I'm going to ignore this until the protocol is reverse engineered and a Free Software driver is released.
