Re: Linux

Most Linux distributions are free - try (for example) Damn Small LInux running from a flash drive. However, the majority of hardware manufacturers don't offer standard drivers for Linux, and although there is good third party support, often the last i/f to get support is spdif.

A good minimalist multimedia distribution to try is Geexbox. It supports just about every mm format(sound, TV, DVD), can even use a Hollywood card for both video & sound support, is free,runs from CD, and the total size is around 3MB.Full sources are around 18MB.
