Probably. However, the Acer Revo is priced in the same ballpark, comes with Windows XP, and has the Ion LE chipset, which does a fairly decent job with HD content, in addition to SD.

If netflix is necessary you will want to pay the extra 20 bucks for XP and install something like Boxee. If you want a linux media center use Linux Mint, it will be less hassle, then install Boxee. i have that and it shares files with XP without any issues, but vista and 7 have some issues.]]>Mar 9th 2010 9:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/newegg-selling-asus-eee-box-with-red-flag-linux-pre-installed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/newegg-selling-asus-eee-box-with-red-flag-linux-pre-installed/

A handful of Linux distributions have issues with the Network & Graphics ports on these machines. I currently have CentOS 5.x running on multiple B202 boxes, which worked with the network. Had to set video to VESA to get graphics up. I'm not aware of WIRELESS working on these under any mainstream flavor of Linux out-of-the-box. You may need their USB DVD drive to make install easier, depending on your skills (makes things MUCH easier).
