I have gentoo compiling from stage1 on two of them (the ones in the ad).  Been compiling for most of the day now - still compiling bootstrap.  These boxes should SMOKE with Gentoo and fluxbox - what a deal at $40!  (well for me anyways...)

I'm going for a low end mythTv  with one of these box - just now ordering my WINtv 350 card... and a seagate 160gb for $90 at best buy online!

Don't know if the mythtv will work well, but I just want to mostly watch stuff (dvd, and other divx stuff I have) and maybe some tv once and a while....

I hope to record every thing I do to get one of these boxes going with myth and gentoo!  I'll pass it along iof anyone is interested...
