[mythtv-users] [OT] CD stuck in Mac Mini

[PROTEK]

I think these new Minis will make a good frontend for mythtv since they 
are quite and small...
( I have PPC one's now and I don't think they would be so good )

Are you running Ubuntu also on yours? And how is the remote control / 
network and all that working...?

I had major problems with Suse on the MacBook .. Unable to size display, 
no network , remote and not to mention the boat loader was not quite right..
It was science project I gave on before it got involved but I was not 
all that impressed so far..

I only use my frontend for tv so I would probably only use the Mythtv 
for Mac then play everything w/ some OSX app.
And find something to replace the useless frontrow remote that does not 
work w/ mythtv..
