Hey.
I am just about to throw out my HTPC!! That damn thing keeps doing things which annoys me....The latest was freezing in the middle of a film I watched with the kids...
Well thing is...
I got a spare HD of 500GB. So canīt I just throw on some sort of Linux? And can one play Blu-Ray movies in Linux? I use the optical drive, so no compressed files from HD. And do I need to buy Nividia videocard, to getter optimal performance in Linux? (ati drivers used to suck last time I played around)
The specs:
Asus M3N78-HTPC
AMD X2 240e (2.8 Ghz@45W)
2*2 GB PC-6400
Samsung F3 320 GB
Samsung 12x BR/DVD-R
Club 3D Ati 5450 passive cooled
Silverstone Grandia 05
This little thingy is not crunching.
Edit: I may wanna say that itīs currently running Windows Vista x64 and XMBC. But after the install of BR optical, I now use that included program Cyberlink PowerDVD, since XBMC cannot run BR discs...
