[mythtv-users] Calling all Acer Revo AR1600-U910H users

[Michael Drons]

OK I think I'm close to buying one.  A few questions.

Can I get it without windows xp installed?

Can it boot off the network if I remove the sata disk?

Whats the distro of choice on it?  All of my myth devices run gentoo today.

Just to confirm, no built in IR receiver,  whats a good remote/usb receiver.  I have a MCE combo and the remote is "cheap" feeling.

Thanks, Mike
