</div>thread is here <a href="http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/408509" target="_blank">http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/408509</a><br></blockquote></div><br>Gaaaa. This is a deal breaker. Maybe I will have to dual boot :-(.<br>
<br>I was thinking the dual core would reduce boot time since I like to turn off my frontend when not in use. I also figured the dual core would help in the case of general web browsing, etc. I don't mind a quiet fan if it means a little more responsive UI. But no Flash playback is a tough one to work around. When I saw the 10.1 announcement, I figured it would not be perfect off the bat, but I figured there was a good chance it would get pretty stable w/in a couple months. This makes it seem like GPU accel Flash on Linux is on the cutting room floor for good.<br>
