Bill: Re: "Will the distributed linux group be able to make a stripped OS for such a game box? I see no reason why not.Since all the parts will be x86 standards the biggest problem will be getting a video chip. Well, gather the rejected suitors and see what they come up with, they may be political rejects and not tech rejects?" Comment: Interesting scenario...Like AMD, the Linux star is rising rapidly...Nothing to suggest both their accelerated acendencies won't continue for the foreseeable future...After all, they both do try harder! Why not an L(Linux)box based on a 1000 MHz Athy?
