Greg (or others),<br><br>maybe you can clear up some confusion:<br><br>Unichrome? Openchrome? Which to use? Why two different projects? Does anything take advantage of the mpeg4 acceleration that the CN400 chipset provides?
<br><br>I know of a few distros that were either slanted towards, supported or specifically targeted at the via epia series: epios, minimyth, imedia, knoppmyth. Is any of these worth starting with? I need my box to be both front and backends (so I think that knocks out Larry Matter's minimyth).
