I've got three de200c's in various uses as Myth boxes, and they work 
pretty well, once you tweak things just right.  For what it's worth, mine 
are all running a fairly stock Mandrake 9.2, and it's been working 
so well, I haven't bothered to upgrade to the latest Mandrake release.

What resolution/bitrate are your recordings?  Are you using the ethernet 
connection or the HPNA?  What's your CPU utilization during playback?
