I've got one at home, it's pretty slick... Running ubuntu on it with good success with VPDAU and the nvidia drivers in 10.04...
I've got an Asus EEEBox media center I picked up on woot.com on the way, too... $200, and a little better specs on it (I think it has integrated WiFi, and wireless kb/mouse).. Theres a lot of good stuff coming out with hw accel for most video and an Atom CPU... < 20watts and enough to play almost any video you can throw at it... -- Tim On Tue, Jun 15, 2010 at 10:36 AM, Don Delp <[email protected]> wrote: > On Tue, Jun 15, 2010 at 10:18 AM, Tim Jackson <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Acer Revo - $200 Intel Atom box that's actually smaller w/ Nvidia ION for > > your hw accelerated h.264 playback pleasure..
