redneck… i have a parallel jetdirect… (no shit) so i’m covered 
jph it’s a home media center package, it’s preconfigured so for someone new to linux and setting up media it would be great. with a few commands (and internet connection) it’s going to be a streaming media server on my home network… also going to be a high def movie viewer and internets surfer on my living room tv.
it boots from USB but naturally can be 100% reconfigured… for the hardware costs alone, 315 is a good deal.
