I'd give it a thumbs down.  Took me a week of playing around to get the 
thing running at all (compile your own kernel with patches from random 
places, compile your own X with patches from other places, compile your 
own mplayer with yet more patches, compile your own mythtv with even 
more patches from even more places, plus whatever else I forgot).  And 
now that I have it (mostly) running, it is way freakin slow.  My AMD XP 
  2000+ frontend/backend machine is snappy, but the me6000 takes forever 
to respond to anything.

Sorry, haven't tried it.
