Linux is running on APPLE TV
,----[ Quote ]
| I've got the linux kernel booting on my Apple TV. It was not easy,
| but after reading over the information on how they got it workin on
| the mac mini, I was finally able to figure out how to make it work
| on the ATV also.
|
| There are sevral changes that need to be made to the lilo bootloader
| just to get it to boot the kernel. It does not boot fully into linux
| yet, but it gets pretty far before giving a kernel panic. There are
| still a lot of drivers missing that will need to be compiled in to
| get it to boot up all the way, but this is a start.

AppleTV could the perfect MythTV Frontend
,----[ Quote ]
| Apple's new AppleTV sounds like the perfect hardware to use for a
| MythTV Frontend, or other similar device. It's an Intel based device
| that includes a 40GB hard drive and a high end selection of video out
| ports. I'd venture a guess that it probably has a MPEG decoding chip
| hiding in there as well.
|
| Linux (and mythfrontend) are crying out to be loaded onto this device.

| Xvid files with no problems.
