I've installed ubuntu from about 7.10, then again at 8.10, and 9.04, I  
tried knoppmyth, but the installer borked, the new version is now  
LinHES, which also didn't work (XvMC again I think).

I would then try the components individually, but none had enough of  
EPG, MPEG acceleration (required for the low powered machine) or DVD  
playback running.

I also tried Mythbuntu 9.04, and then again on mythbuntu 9.10.  
Mythdora I haven't tried, but I've seen reports that it also has  
trouble on this hardware.

If someone on the list here says, yeah that works great out of the  
box, I'd give it a go :-)

I'd prefer one of the full OS's so that my always on box can be a more  
useful server (DLNA later)

thanks
