The HTPC is available. It starts at $299 as stated with 2GB of ram and a 60GB
disk (non-ssd). There is a mini wireless bluetooth keyboard available for it
with touchpad. It works great! It does have an HDMI port and uses a optimized
CPU to save on energy and reduce heat.
It can be found in the desktop section if anybody is interested.
* There is no particular software for multimedia managment included like XBMC
or MythBox, it ships stock Trisquel for now. There appear to be issues with
XBMC in regards to non-free dependencies (they may be removable). I believe
MythBox is based on it so it too is probably not entirely free.
We haven't tested this with http://www.eztakes.com/ yet although there is no
reason it shouldn't work. They are DRM-free and flash is not required.
