One interesting thing I noticed on this:

On the Parallela website, they state in their FAQ that they're shipping a
CLI-only version of Ubuntu. Given the intended use case for this, that
seems completely reasonable. If I were purchasing a piece of hardware
intended to enable parallel computing software developement, I certainly
wouldn't want a GUI sitting around sucking resources.

However, in their kickstarter video, they highlight its use as a
HTPC/browsing machine, which obviously requires X.

They likely included the GUI bits in their video to hook more backers on
kickstarter, which I think is a bit disingenuous for the expresses goal of
the board.
