Alright, I read some of the forum posts over there and I'm game - even
though it still doesn't look like it's for the faint of heart.  Well,
when you get that penstick Mythbuntu distro for AppleTV working, I'm
definitely in.  That's would be plenty close enough, even if I have to
open up the box and grab the efi firmware off the harddrive.  Off to
E-bay I go now...You'll be done with that in 5-7 days, right? ;)
