Re: System76 Media Center / TVPC?
seeing specialized boxes like this would defiantly be compelling to recommend to people i know whom are ready to kick cable. There are a few stumbling blocks to this however.
One being that a good portion of this potential demographic still only have 480i sets to hook up to and some who do have HDTV's are missing HDMI or VGA.
(wondering if meerkat via s-video, is good for 480i sets?)
Another being that HDMI support in ubuntu often times has overscan issues or lacks audio over HDMI.
third being that it seems that s76 has steered clear from adding or modifying extra software, aside from providing needed drivers.
Laptops: S76 Panp5, HP tc4400
Other: numerous old desktops/laptops running ubuntu or puppy linux
