Roku Finally Gets a 2D Menu System 80

DeviceGuru writes "Many of us have griped for years about Roku's retro one-dimensional user interface. Finally, in conjunction with the release of the new Roku 3 model, the Linux-based media streaming player is getting a two-dimensional facelift, making it quicker and easier to access favorite channels and find new ones. Current Roku users, who will now begin suffering from UI-envy, will be glad to learn that Roku plans to push out a firmware update next month to many earlier models, including the Roku LT, Roku HD (model 2500R), Roku 2 HD, Roku 2 XD, Roku 2 XS, and Roku Streaming Stick. A short demo of the new 2D Roku menu system is available in this YouTube video."

Comment OpenSolaris 2008.11 runs beautifully on my 701 (Score 1) 466

Everything works out of the box except the webcam and the wired ethernet - for which there's a 3rd party driver (google "atge"). Excellent suspend/resume support, audio, compiz, etc. and I get to use ZFS on the 4g ssd as well as an 8gb SD card.

I wouldn't want to run anything else, having tried xandros & Eeebuntu.

disclaimer: I work at Sun. ( so, using OpenSolaris as my main OS in my day jobs, means I naturally am more comfortable with it on my netbook )
