Mods disabled zombie threads after the old VB forum was reinstated.

The potential applications are endless : old people, dangerous environments (nuclear, mining, underwater, etc), waste disposal...
And of course the most important :
SEX TOYS !!!!

Fine is the key word. But it will get better. As a whole the project seems to be focusing on low end hardware more and more.

Check out RaspBMC - it's a custom build of Debian with XBMC preinstalled. It's not as slick as Plex, but it works perfectly fine for what amounts to a $35 HTPC.
Also: look on eBay for enclosure options. I found a plastic one from a UK seller for like $8 shipped that worked out great.
Also also: the built-in NIC is terrible. It runs on the device's USB bus, and the chipset they went with just performs terribly. If you need lots of high bandwidth capability, I'd recommend getting a better USB wired or wifi adapter.
