Chester,

  I was given one of these remotes and the HP branded receiver from a friend
of mine who had a MCE computer given to him, but he never used the MCE
features.  They both work fine on a Fedora 8 system using the MCEUSB2
configuration.

  I'm not 100% sure that receiver is the same as mine, but I'm pretty sure
it is. ;-)

  After using this remote, I bought a couple more on eBay as 'spares'.  I
actually like a 'genuine' Microsoft MCE remote better as most of the keys
are back-lit, whereas they are not on this remote.
