Build a BoxeeBox and Wean Yourself From Cable 335

Since I've been having serious problems with satellite all week, DeviceGuru's submission was really interesting to me. He says "Inspired by Roku's awesome Netflix video download box and impressed with Boxee's free A/V media center platform, it was merely a matter of time before DeviceGuru blogger Rick Lehrbaum would create the BoxeeBox, an Ubuntu-powered HTPC with Boxee serving as its primary media center UI. Based on a 2.5GHz Core 2 Duo CPU, the BoxeeBox has the look and feel of consumer A/V equipment and packs 2GB RAM, 1TB HDD, CD/DVD drive, USB, Firewire, HDMI, DVI-D, RGB, and 8-channel surround sound audio."

Actually, the x86 sources are still missing quite a few projects. Last week, however, there were only GPL licensed sources on the x86 page. Apple released the source code to many APSL licensed projects this week, but not all of them. It remains impossible to build an OS based on the posted sources.

While I said "thank you" and meant it, opensource at Apple is certainly not hunky-dory.
