fork() is common, but the vast majority of the time it's to do an exec which 
makes them trivial to convert to vfork().  realistically, build problems with 
uClibc vs glibc tend to be more common.

i've played doom on my hardware, made video/voip calls via linphone, browsed 
the web with qt/webkit, and served web pages from sqlite/php (to name a few).  
we treat it as a generic Linux platform like any other arch rather than 
pigeonhole it as a "firewall" or something.  i dont really keep track as it'd 
kind of be like asking what packages have i used on an mmu.
