Chris,

Since your post I have been looking into the zbox and I almost ready to
get it. Few Qs

1. what distro are you using? At the present I'm running opensuse 12.2
in a FE/BE and myth 0.25. I also have a wireless FE. Should I install
also the same distro or should I install a myth-type-distro running of
course the save version of myth


2. keyboard. what are you using. Amazon offers as a bundle with the zbox

FAVI Entertainment Wireless Keyboard (Built-in TouchPad/Laser Pointer) 

Logitech Wireless Touch Keyboard K400 with Built-In Multi-Touch
Touchpad 

Any suggestions?

3. Is the wifi card included in the product enough for you or have you
replaced or use a usb dongle?

4. mythmote. I used to use mythmote from my droid but then stop working
(not able to connect) after one of the myth upgrades. So mythmote seems
to be working ok for you under 0.25 correct?

5. I will get the one with blue ray as you suggested. I am sure that the
drive will allow me to read dvd+R.

6. do you use any HD decoder pci-mini card?

7. As Tom suggested I will select VDPAU

Any tips welcome.

Chris TIA
