It's been my experience with via that they are somewhat generous to the
Linux community but a little guarded WRT specific devices. I still have
not found source for an mpeg2 decoder for the EPIA boards I have. Take a
hard look at the epia forums.

Yea, with an athlon 2600+ it might not be worth it. But when every

Checkout the gentoo-xbox list - lots of MythTV/Freevo users on there.
At $150 its pretty cheap for a PC and the small form factor is perfect.
