Acer Revo L80 + Ubuntu?

[Chance88]

Hi,

I'm trying to decide on a good HTPC for a Ubuntu minimal + XBMC install.

I think the easiest option would be to buy a small computer like the Acer Revos. I have a lot of Blu-rays so decided the L80 would be the best option as it comes with a Blu-ray drive.

However I've read reviews saying Linux doesn't work with the on-board GPU, while others say it does.

Does anyone for sure if it will work or not?

Looking around I'm pretty sure the machine won't support Linux at all due to an issue with the GPU.

Could you offer an alternative?
