I'd be interested in using the above box, which comes with Ubuntu 12.10, for a little streaming as well as doing some work, using my 46-inch RCA LED HDTV as a "monitor."
I've read that Ubuntu 12.10 has some issues with displaying properly to HDMI, which is the way I'd have to hook it up to my TV. The NewEgg product info says the graphics are Intel HD, but doesn't give the model number of the graphics card.
Basically, I want to get rid of a dedicated computer desk because it takes up valuable space in our small home. And I've had good experience converting my 2004 Mac G5 PowerPC over to Linux MintPPC (heavily Ubuntu-based), so this package appeals to me a lot. I just don't want to order it, then find out the box won't work through HDMI without serious updates to the kernel, then pay to send the product back.
Still kind of a newbie at Ubuntu (been reading the forums the last several days, searching on the topic of 12.10 HDMI compatibility) so your patience and assistance is much appreciated.
