See it in action on XBMC's stand at Linuxtag 09.

I am sooooo jealous right now. That is exactly what I want for my next xbmc machine. Can you tell me which Atom processor it it running? The GUI seems surprisingly smooth and the video is perfect also.

Atom 330

I've got it running on the acer revo on a 50 inch display....
this is absolutly gorgeous!

I'm not able to watch the clip here at work, but the playback is flawless?

Really wonder why i'm experiencing hickups when when i play 1080p on my Revo at home... (using both XBMC-Live and on Ubuntu installation)

Kinda hoping someone will release a fully configured and ready to use "Nvidia ION XBMC" image

Why is killa stuttering? not enough bandwidth?

Very cool. I hadn't heard about that South Pacific series (I'm in the US). I'll have to check that out.

So, I've only played around with a linux install for a month or so, using a dual monitor setup, as I have my main pc hooked up to my TV for dual purpose.

I would like to do this and start building these for friends and family. Is XBMC at a point, do you think, that a non tech person wouldn't have any trouble once it is setup (as far as crashing, etc. I know when I played around with my non dedicated linux install, that I had issues with the sound driver for the most part)? I guess I should just configure one for myself for a couple of months and see.

Can a non tech person use it easily? Absolutely, just ask my wife. But can she upkeep and troubleshoot it? Could she figure out why the scrapers don't always work properly and workaround them? No, probably not. XBMC is great for your own home, but do you really want to be an on-call technician for family/friends?

yeah, I guess I forgot about the scraper issues. Hopefully that will change once Boxee, Plex, and others become Final, and I was just reading on the developer forum how their working on a better way of scraping everything.

So hopefully a year from now.

How does Aeon run on that Atom 330?
