boxee, linux, Ubuntu
I'm suddenly enamoured with boxee so I've ordered a bit of hardware with the idea of building an HTPC on top of ubuntu. I must say this happened after I saw the boxee remote in action with my macbook pro.
So off to newegg I go and purchase a Brisbane core 4850e, ASUS M3A78-EM, two 1GB Gskill sticks, an 8GB OCZ diesel and an antec nsk2480 desktop case from buy.com
I was able to create a boot image on the jump drive with an Ubuntu 8.10 VM running under virtualbox on my macbook pro and install onto a secondary flash drive. Unfortunately something went wrong when patching so I reinstalled on an old 80GB IDE drive.
So far the the box works fine. I just need to look into forcing the CPU up to 2.5Ghz [ the default is 1 Ghz ] then see if boxee and the remote app on my Touch 2G work.
Fun!
Any problems and I'll try to install the HD3200 support from "ati-driver-installer-9-3-x86.x86_64.run"

Ubuntu, linux, eee
I installed the 8GB SDHC but it's not really used by default.
The software ASUS updater launched and hung when the drive was full.
Is it something I did?
I decided to rm -rf "My Documents" and "Picasa"
After I open a root terminal via control-t in the file manager. I have apt working.
Painful
Maybe I need to install vanilla Ubuntu or Moblin?
Lets see what happens.

rt2860, 802.11n, Ubuntu
This is so trivial I dont know why I'm bothering.
Installed Ubuntu on a spare drive today. After a bit of patching and building the ra0 support. I have an interface.
The crap network utility on Ubuntu will not connect to my WPA2 encrypted AEBS.
Turned off WPA and manually connected ra0 to my AP.
I'm done.
It was that simple to get 802.11n up in Ubuntu.
I'll have to benchmark Sunday to confirm the rate is proper.
If I dont see panic in the next 12 hours I'll bother to try WPA2 manually.
It looks just like FreeBSD.
What a mess.

HP, Ubuntu
I had a few hangs when running the ZD1211 and AR5007 simultaneously.
WPA seems to be an issue. I want connections as seamless as my ath interface in freebsd.
Configure the supplicant crap and you're done.
Not so in ubuntu's graphical configuration tools.
I only had seamless connections when I replaced the FON with an open DLINK POS.
Anyway, I dont have the patience to sort this all out now so the father-in-law is in vista and perfectly content with content with Firefox 3 and the 3 bookmarks I've added.
Maybe the next time they go on a trip I'll update and try it again.
:-(
If I have spare time I'll be trying to build comixwall again and moving from a macbook pro to a 2.4Ghz Imac on leopard. I'm not looking forward to the bloat and stupid visual effects in 10.5 but my mbp is getting dated.
