I bought one from Circuit City and one from CompUSA. The one from Circuit
City was sent to my in-laws, and they use is as it was intended. The one
from CompUSA was the demo unit so it was very easy to hack. I turned it
into a small Linux box.
I got one from circuit city. I had to replace the ROM to get it to boot a HD,
but I did so and put a 4GB laptop and it now dual-boots linux and win98.
The only hard part of the whole thing was scraping off the damn epoxy they
used to stick the ROM chip into its socket...
