I have not posted on
dev news groups for years (10+)... So I hope I am not breaking any etiquette
rules. If this is the wrong place for such an inquiry please email me directly
(And click 'delete' ) and I will not follow up.
I have been looking
for a "Packaged" Media PC. Imagine a media PC I can give my Grandma for
xmess, she can use it and be happy about it... But Open Source based:
What do I mean? Packaged just like the new iMac with FrontRow or the
Microsoft Media PCs. An attractive box with great industrial design, preloaded
with Linux, MythTV, a Music distribution app like Napster or RNWK Rhapsody and
maybe a few other applications. Great and simple user Interface.
Why am
I asking? and in this forum? Because I have not been able to find one. And
because I think it is important, especially when it comes to digital media, that
a viable alternative to MSFT / Apple will be developed and gain a significant
market share.
If I am wrong and
there is such an media PC, please let me know - I am in the market for one. If
you would like to discuss further what might be required (business and
technology wise) to get such an initiative going, please let me know what is the
right forum to have such a discussion.
Thanks

About me: Well if
you try to Google me you will end up with lots of info about Fish or Ram... ;-)
I started programming 20+ years ago By coincidence me and Isaac actually
got or CompE degrees both at CWRU (I am a few years older;-) But I switched
to the business side of technology / Entrepreneurship so have not
programmed for for ~10 years.
