Mythbuntu/Mythtv pre-installed Computers?

[mendieta]

Hi

Sorry to ask something so silly, but I couldn't really find vendors of computers with mythbuntu preinstalled. I googled, earched around here,etc. Any pointers?

I really need something simple, mostly plug it to the large digital TV I have, and display DVD's (a dvd rom would be reat), watch internet TV a la Hulu.com, youtube, etc. A remote control is essential. The closer thing I found is this:

But this is just a barebones, and already at USD 350! You still need a lot of work and money before you get a whole system.

Any ideas?

Many thanks!

You might be better off buying a PS3. After looking at some of the reviews at newegg, I wouldn't even consider buying the system.

Thanks a lot Jim, this could be the ticket ... can you install Mythbuntu as a dual boot on the PS3? Meaning: can you still use the PS3 for gaming if you install Mythbuntu on it? Do you know?

mmmm ... it looks like you can, this could be exactly what I need, since I was also thinking of buying a gaming console for my son, thanks so much!

By the way, would other consoles be good for this, too? Like the Wii ?

Thanks, again
